Pardon me for a moment while I jump up and down in joy... the first CFWACK arrived today via Fedex...

If it looks slim - it is. Hard to believe that's almost 600 pages there. Here is the Vader approved version:

As I said - pardon this waste of space - but the WACK this time around was difficult to write - so I'm more than just a little bit happy to see this puppy in my hands.

Is that a giant Vader Pez dispenser?

No, I'm just happy to see you.

Sorry - couldn't resist. Yes, it is. I also have a giant Grevious pez dispenser.

Why? Because it's cool, darnit.

"No, I'm just happy to see you.".... he he, that made me giggle :)

My first thought when I saw the "Vader approved" version was, "Wow, it really is smaller this time..." Then I figured out that that must be one of the giant Pez, not the normal sized one.

Gratz Ray! "No, I'm just happy to see you." nice!

I agree with Shane -- can't wait to see it in my hands too.(he says, looking for the lightest credit card in his wallet)

Um, the book, not the PEZ dispenser (although, that would be cool too...)

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait for mine to come in and check out.

It was a pleasure meeting you at CFUnited Ray.

They must have printed it with Bible paper.

hmm, wonder what took yours so long, I had it a week ago.

joking.

Is there going to be a special release of the Vader approved version?

I won't buy it unless there is.

Joking. Maybe.

Congratz! Still checking the local bookstores. CFWACK8 isn't even in the Borders system yet . . . when I do a search for Forta I just get the 7 version, and when I do a search for your name nothing shows up (I think).

That's kinda sad - this is like my 8th or 9th book or so. I did a few of the Mastering CF books, a Developers Guide to CF, a Spectra book, and the lst CFWACK series. How can I be unknown!!?!? :)
Lola LB said on 09-21-2007 at 6:50 AM #
Okay . . . so sue me, I'm wrong. Just went to Borders.com and got 44 hits for "Raymond Camden" (btw, Allaire Spectra E-Business Construction Kit comes up second). CFWACK8 does show up as pre-order. Later on I plan to stop by the Borders bookstore and I'll doublecheck there.

Whew. So I do exist. Nice. :)

Congrats Ray!

I ordered the book.
Looking forward to read it.

Really looking forward to this just a shame we get little differences in the uk - like published date and pricing ;)

Think I may just have to ship from the states instead.

Should be good.
