[fwlug] OK, at last something I can show you.

[Vern Ceder]

Hi everyone,

I know it seems like I've been talking about working on a book, missing 
meetings because of deadlines, etc. forever. That's because it has been 
forever (or so it seems to me).

Anyway, I'm now at the point where there is something to share, so I'm 
passing these along for what they're worth.

First of all, we have a sneak preview rough draft excerpt up on the 
headfirstlabs.com web site. It's a fragment of the very first chapter, 
which uses some turtle drawings to try to get the idea of a program 
across to someone who's never programmed before. Here's the PDF -

Secondly, I'm now on Amazon, so I must be real... 
http://www.amazon.com/First-Programming-Python-Vernon-Ceder/dp/0596514182/

(Hey, pre-order 10 copies and I'll make sure you get mentioned in the 
acknowledgments - it's a Head First tradition - have no shame. ;-) )

Anyway, you will note that this announcement is technically on topic, 
since the LUG is mentioned in my little bio on Amazon...

Cheers,
Vern
