I'm not sure if you'll have this in your book or not, but one thing that seems to be missing from some of the .Net wrapper libraries are annotated examples for calling each of the supported API methods.  Often the Bitcoin wrappers will include a basic example of only 2-3 methods (say checking the balance), but will miss key examples for each of the critical JSON methods that the wrapper calls, like sending a transaction. Granted, you can always look through the class and try to determine how to correctly call the method with the required parameters. However, it's much easier to just look at a working example and then change what you need to in order to adopt into the code. 

I'm looking forward to the book!

A very interesting and impressive step here Mr Nicolas, have you considered translating the currently published book and/or future ones into other languages ? is that even a possibility ?
My time is better spent coding and writing about what I know, so I won't translate it myself, even in my own language.

However, since the book is public domain, if someone wants to do it and publish it himself commercially or not, I'm fine with it, as long as he gives me credits for as the author.

So the question is more : does a good translator will do it ? And I have no idea, but this is a possibility.
Also, the book will change a lot until I finished the 3 parts, so it does not make sense to start translating right now.

Even NBitcoin changes as I write. This is a funny thing that I find way to improve NBitcoin only when I write about it. When I struggle explaining some concept, most of the time, it forces me to refactor stuff in NBitcoin to explain more easily.

Ok then, will send you a PM regarding this.

From nothing to nothing
Good luck with your work.

While releasing the book, I hope you include all recent developments, techniques and concerns with crypto. I mean we're in Jan/Feb now. The book will be available on July. Best wishes.

Yeah , looking at the screenshots that you posted (if you took them your self) I will say you are from France probably .
I have no problem translating this eBook to be honest to Arabic,French (since it's in english right now) but I guess I will wait till the three parts comes out , I guess it will be a good timing because I will probably finish my studies and be in holiday once you finish the book . so just let me know .

No it's ok, if I paid for it and others will get it free I have no problem with that

Meanotor , since some other people sent some tips without OP_RETURN, I decided that I needed to show them some love on http://blockchainprogramming.azurewebsites.net/
However, they are referred as "Lazy Donators". Wink

The book is pretty awesome and helpful to be honest . Do you mind if I write about it on my blog once I have sometime ? I will give you all the credit of course .
By the way , I wanted to ask you about the release of the second part is it anytime soon or it may some time ? Smiley

~ Madness.

Hey, sure go ahead the value of my work increase every time someone shares it. (It is why it is free by the way Wink)

I am writing the second part, I intend to release in beginning of March.
I will do some cool stuff with colored coins, and will connect to the network for more interesting stuff. I will also talk about SPV.

The last part, the third will go on more advanced topics like micro payment channels with OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY, share coin, and how to implement a hub for asking transaction signature accross several participants. (multi sig or not)

By the way I updated the book several time since the beginning, so if you downloaded it long time ago, re download it to get the updated part.

right on, I was just talking with someone about this exact topic... I need to learn more... lol a lot more Wink and this could be a great start. I'll check it out for sure.

you should sell it in the gaiacoin app store (and any other coin with a built in app store) the more people that learn the better Cheesy

You can do it, it is public domain. Smiley
It is far from being finished though. It only covered the first part which is yet the tip of the iceberg. Also, my english is not perfect it is under review.

K, I'll keep that in mind while I'm reading it Smiley
