And here I thought you'd be recommending something other than a Microsoft product. 

Of course, I didn't, in reality.  I was like "that's going to a link to some free book about a Microsoft programming language"  and lo and behold, it is.  A stunning revelation.

Is there a point here or are you just rambling?

Thanks Toasty,
