C++/CLI Primer – An Apress Book

Earlier this year, I wrote¹ about publishing² C++/CLI Primer on [LeanPub.com]³. I wondered if there is anybody else besides myself and Microsoft using C++/CLI but readers surprised and humbled me with their support. Seems C++/CLI is here to stay. Know why?

A couple of months back Apress⁴ Publications took notice of the book and offered to publish/print. So here it is: C++/CLI Primer for .NET Development, my first book; who would’ve thought 😎

• On Amazon⁵
• On Apress⁶

I don’t see this publication as a great achievement or something for there are “miles to go … miles to go”. But it is a little thing to celebrate; cute moments of life.

In penning down the book I was just the vehicle. Friends and family are the wheels and fuel of the vehicle.

Thanks to Apress – Steve, Mark, Amrita and the team.

Thanks to my wife and my brother who always supported and encouraged me to write.

Thanks to Sanjeev⁷ and Sammy⁸ for not letting my fire within die.

Finally, also taking liberty on behalf of Sanjeev: Special thanks to [Tom Craig]⁹ for without his guidance we wouldn’t have known what makes programming a joy.
