    Question about Chap. 7, 70-536 manual

    Is it my imagination or is this chapter vaguely worded? I'm still working my
    way throught but it's my impression that someone trying to literally follow
    the sample code will get very confused.

    Case in point. The chapter seems to be encouraging use of console apps for
    the exercises. However if you create a console app with a default Module1,
    you will quickly find out that you cannot put a Shared Sub into a module.
    Looks to me like that example on page 372 should have started by creating a
    class file.

    Or have I missed some fine print?

    Hello B. Chernick,

    I have a copy of this book myself and indeed I have found parts of it to
    be a bit inconsistent. There is a 2nd Edition in the works, and it's due
    out in the next couple of months. This edition will contain many corrections
    to source code listings and text, so it might be worth getting a hold of
    that?

    Cheers.
    Jas.

      The next couple of months, you say? By which time I had better already have
      taken the 70-558 exam. Oh well, I'll look on the bright side: The misprints
      will encourage me to be alert. :-)

      Thanks.
