Update on upcoming books: Visual Studio 2010, SQL Server 2008 R2, and ASP.NET MVC

A couple of weeks ago we gave you a snapshot of upcoming titles. Here’s a quick update on those titles:

  • First up is William Stanek’s Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Administrator's Pocket Consultant, Second Edition, which we’ll be shipping at the end of March. It updates this book for R2. William rocks on, obviously. [UDPATE: We indeed shipped this title on March 29. 2010. More info here .]
  • Next is Ross Mistry and Stacia Misner’s Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, which will be a free ebook and which updates for R2 this free ebook (no longer available for download). The ebook should be complete around April 14. We’ll tell you about it on the blog as soon as it’s available. [UPDATE: On schedule to RTM next week, on April 14.]
  • Next is George Shepherd’s Microsoft ASP.NET 4.0 Step by Step, which will ship around April 14. George has revised his Microsoft ASP.NET 3.5 Step by Step for Visual Studio 2010. [UPDATE: On schedule to RTM next week, on April 14.]
  • Next is Michael Halvorson’s Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Step by Step, which will also ship around April 14. You can probably guess which book it updates. [UPDATE: On schedule to RTM next week, on April 14.]
  • And we end this list with a new book by Dino Esposito, which is always a treat: Programming Microsoft ASP.NET MVC. Dino’s book is written against MVC 2. It’s also shipping in April.  [UPDATE: Looks like we will RTM Dino’s new book on April 23.]
