Expert F# Available by end of November!
At last! We've finally sent off the very last proofs of Expert F# to Apress - this time the index, TOC etc. Adam, Antonio and myself are grateful to have Erik Meijer writing the foreword for us, and Apress are dealing with the small metter of putting everything on paper and getting it shipped to the book stores.
I'm told it will be available by Nov 30, though I'm not sure of the exact date that translates to interms of shipping from Amazon etc.
To whet your appetite, here's the table-of-contents at a glance:
