New CRM Developer Book
In my spare time (ha! ) for the last year I have been working on writing a book targeted to developing applications on CRM 4.0. Originally, the book was going to be a short book focusing on workflow but has grown to over 600 pages covering all developer centric topics. In the book I talk about everything from setting up a developer environment to using SilverLight with CRM. You can read the full press release on the book on MarketWatch here.
This is not a "user" book, it's a developer book. I might even go as far as saying a power admin that wants to understand more about what's going on would benefit as well. The book goes deeper into developer topics like client scripting, web services, plug-ins and workflow than any of the other books currently released.
Most of the chapters in the book have samples that go along with them. There's also a Jump Start Framework that's over 13,000 lines of reusable code to jump start your learning of the platform. The license of the code is simple buy the book use the code....any questions? It includes things like client script to make calling the web services easier - no more concatenating strings and hoping it works. It also includes plug-ins, workflow activities and more. I will be blogging more in the future about some of the cool things in the samples and the framework that you can leverage. Realistically, even if you only used a few lines of the code it would pay back for the book 2-3 times over.
The book is available from the book web site http://www.thecrmbook.com and will be available in a month or so on Amazon and other retailers. The book is also available in e-book with simple content control - no complicated DRM (rights management) to drive you nuts. I've also started recording How-To videos here. They are starting really basic, but I will be diving deeper over time. If you have request send them my way.
Since you put up with my blog posts, I wanted to make it worth your while since many of you helped shape the content of the book. When you purchase your copy if you put daveblog in the discount code field on the checkout you will receive $10.00 off your print book purchase.

I'm only about 1/3 through the book so far, but great job! The code samples and code generators that you include are well worth the price all by themselves. Thanks for a great book, and I look forward to seeing your ADO EF presentation at our local .NET User Group on Monday.
