Dear Rough Cuts Readers: Safari PDF for Programming Entity Framework is still the Rough Cuts version (as of Feb 2)

Monday, February 02 2009

finalversionAlthough the digital version of my book, Programming Entity Framework, is now live on Safari, it seems that the full PDF download is still only that of the Rough Cut that has been online since this fall. If you download the PDF, please compare it to the chapters that are displayed online.

The Rough Cut for example does not have 23 chapters. Also, note the Foreword and Chapter 5 that I have circled in this screenshot. They are part of the final version but are not in the Rough Cut. If the PDF you have downloaded does not match this then you don't have the correct version. We have been trying to get Safari to fix this since we discovered it on Friday but unfortunately, as of this afternoon, it has still not be corrected and we have absolutely no control over it.

I was at a client site today and someone had printed out and read this version over the weekend thinking it was final (after Safari emailed to let them know it was available). The book went through major revisions since the Rough Cut so I was less than thrilled to hear this.
