Dalija Prasnikar 1399 Posted December 28, 2020 Final version of my eBook Delphi Event-based and Asynchronous Programming has been released - 291 pages. You can find more information and purchase option at: https://dalija.prasnikar.info/delphiebap/index.html Thanks to all of you who purchased the incomplete pre-release version (179 pages) of my eBook! After a minor delay, the full version is here! You can download it through the same PDF/epub/mobi links that you have received earlier from FastSpring via email. The subject line of that email message was: "Your Delphi Event-based and Asynchronous Programming - Part I Delivery Information". If you have any problems, feel free to contact me via the contact form on my site. Thanks again! Happy Holidays to you all! 10 1 Share this post Link to post
Guest Posted December 29, 2020 Congratulations and wish you success. Only i don't understand this, did you added +100 page and finished a book, then released it in one month and called this a delay ? How could you call that a delay ?! Tell us the secret, i bet you had multitasked that 🙂 Simply put, that is impressive. And congratulations again. Share this post Link to post
Rollo62 538 Posted December 29, 2020 @Dalija Prasnikar Thanks, its complete now 👍 I could download only the PDF-Version, not ePUB and MOBI, is that correct ? Anyway, I prefer PDF anyway, but I never know what eReader gadgets I will buy in the future. Share this post Link to post

How could you call that a delay ?! About the delay... the final release was originally planned for December 11, but I had a minor accident on November 30, and ended up in ER, where I also tested positive for COVID! In less than a week whole family got infected. We all had mild symptoms and were left at home with no treatment., but living was pretty hectic for most of the following two weeks... Anyway, we managed to release it about 16 days later than expected (I already had a lot of it written before, just not fully ready for release) I would say that all this is behind us, as it is... but as you may have heard it... Croatia got hit by major earthquake today. This one was 50km from Zagreb where we're located, but it was 30 times stronger than the one that hit Zagreb in March. After 6.2 by Richter scale, local Nuclear Power Plant (Krsko) was shut down, and power is all but stable, which is why I may not be online as regularly as before in the coming days!

Now the download works for all content types, thanks again, great book. I'm using async, event and message based approach for some years now very successfully. Its good to have such a summary, where you pointed out some general pitfalls and the basic foundation for reactive apps in general. I like the "incorrect/correct code" approach in your book, which make it much more readable and comparable to me. Please take a good rest over the current holidays, to get some new ideas and regain energy. Since I hope to see many more of such books from you in the next year 2 Share this post Link to post

Vincent Parrett 754 Posted January 14, 2021 @Dalija Prasnikar something for the second edition 😉 - https://github.com/VSoftTechnologies/VSoft.Messaging It's the messaging system we use in FinalBuilder - uses TObject.Dispatch and unlike System.Messaging, it's threadsafe. Works with VCL and FMX, although I have not tested on mobile as I don't do mobile dev. 1 1 Share this post Link to post

Imagine how people who pay would feel if I start giving it away Anyway, if this would be bread and you would be hungry, I'd give you a loaf without thinking twice, but it's not. As much as I'd like to think it is, this book is not really something you can't live without, so... Sorry... And about hugs... My husband expressed his wish to have a private chat with you... you'd better lay low for a while 2 2 Share this post Link to post

Attila Kovacs 629 Posted January 14, 2021 I also have some issues with these clown selling-platforms. I wen't through the check-out 2 times but all they ask is a name, company name and an email address and no word about invoice or anything. Are you selling it only to private persons?

If FastSpring handle their e-book sales the same way they handle their software program sales, then you get a link to an invoice - with any tax details particular to your country - once the transaction is completed, possibly in the final web page, if not - and also - in a confirmation email.
