Second Edition and the new Advanced book.

#21 "Well, the book "went to bed" 9 minutes ago."

Huzzah! Now where's my credit card...

#22 Ken,

Any chance you would release it in e-book form? You could make it cheaper than Amazon's price yet more than your cut from the publisher of the paper book.

In addition to saving money, I really like having the ability to do keyword searches. You just can't do that with a paper book.

Thoughts?

#23 Im very glad to see this book, I could really use some help with AI
plus chapter 13 (Online Game Services Using PHP) look very interesting.
I got a question about the game that we will make during this book, will it
be a new game or we will continue the Emaga game that we did in the first book?

#24 Will this book be ok to read and follow if you have never read the other book before?
Or does it follow on.. so a newbie should buy the first book first then this one.. or both of course

#25 Just ordered it...
I have the other one too, be interesting to see how different they are.

#26 Hokuto,

From Ken in a post in this thread:

... no overlap at all. I think the first book is where you should start.

#27 Would the first book be required to get to pick this one up. The first one looks great, though to be honest a lot of the concepts I've seen in it I already know, this book seems to be great though, though I'm curious if the second book is dependent upon the first one...?

#28 YEs Matthew.. so I'm not alone:) That what I was trying to ask:)
but anyway.. I got the first book a few days ago... that means it will be a few weeks before I'll buy the advanced one

#29 Amazon is still listing an Aug. 12th release date for this, but mine hasn't shipped. Anyone know the real release date?

*edit* Oops, never mind... just saw the Aug. 26th date above :)

#30 They are saying September 7th now. Wal-Mart is saying after August 31. Anyone know why of the delay?

#31 Woohoo.
According to Amazon, mine is shipping today. Just 3 to 5 business days to go.

Hoot!

#33 My Pre-order from JULY 20, is still listed as delivery estimate of Aug10-12!!! Dang Amazon....

#34 Got mine this past Saturday!! :P

#35 Wal-Mart says they did not get shipment from publisher. Hurricane Katrina might have something to do with it. Wal-Mart is saying after September 30th. I canceled my order and re-ordered it from amazon.... will be here Thursday.

#36 Has anyone actually received their Amazon.com order yet? I ordered mine on July 20th, it has not shipped and still has an estimated shipping date of August 2nd.

#37 Just ordered mine for free shipping. That gives me about 5 days to finish up the chapters i didn't do in the first one.

#38 Heheh, yeah, me too. I just hope my order hasn't become lost in the Amazon system.

#39 Its out???? Of to amazon!!!!

Edit:Sorry, i'm now very excited, im gonna have to get 3DGPAI1 back from my friend and review it :)

#40 I ordered mine Sept.5 and it shipped yesterday... will be here tomorrow.

@Cholly: goto the Amazon site and login....then goto "my account"... then to "track order" link to find out where your order is. And yes, several people have already gotten their book.
