You know you haven't blogged in awhile when you can't even remember how to log in and post. :)

I've been holed up in my writing cave but I wanted to take a moment to clarify something. There will NOT be a Volume II for my 101 Windows Phone 7 Apps book. I know there has been some confusion and I see a backlog of tweets asking me about it, so I'm sorry about that. I don't know why Amazon still lists the book, but if they haven't already cancelled your pre-order then you should go ahead and do so.

Why no Volume II? This was a joint decision between SAMS and me because:

• The existing book is self-contained
• Version 7.5 happened much faster than I was prepared for (which is a great thing!)
• I figured I have one book left in me, and we decided it was better to have me write about Windows 8

Therefore, disregard the info on Amazon about Volume II. The Windows 8 book, however, is real. :) Its name will probably change to Windows 8 Apps with XAML and C# Unleashed. Amazon's date of publication probably isn't quite right, but I'll tell you as soon as I know a firmer date.

Thanks!
