[AccessD] OT: C#

For those interested I am working on a new Sybex book which deals with 
Introducing C#. I am the Technical Editor. Lots of good examples but is 
aimed at web developers with a database requirement. The book uses a 
version of Dreamweaver which is not yet available but contains many 
examples in hand coding and so far is really good. Teaches C# from the 
ground up.
