An Incomplete Book - But Still A Book

OK - I've put an incomplete version of the book online at the Push-A-Button website - http://push-a-button.com/products/books/index.php

You are welcome to download it and have a read. If you like it or find it valuable, PLEASE consider donating, since it takes quite a bit of time to write up a document like this.

It's 150 pages long and goes into much more detail than the blog here. It covers most of the same topics, but in a slightly different way. I've only started on the "Building a Real Life Application" section.

If you want to get rid of the watermark or would like the ability to print/comment etc, if you donate I'll make one available to you.

If you have specific feedback about individual sections of the book (eg. examples that are incorrect, poorly-written or poorly explained sections or just places where it doesn't quite 'work' for you) please sign up to my forums at http://community.push-a-button.com and post on the new "Programming in Vista Media Center" forum.

page 18, 19, to enfatize that is not very similar to .net, i think is better no to use examples about .net ....

I've actually toned page 11 down quite a bit - but yes, the idea there is to 'burst your bubble' if you have specific ideas about the program you want to write in Media Center.

Rather than having you read the whole book to find out that what you wanted was impossible, I decided to list all of the things that most users THINK the Media Center SDK can do but actually doesn't. That way people won't complete waste their time designing and working on a product that just can't work.
