P.S. Maybe, the book was commissioned by Microsoft. It does include a Microsoft logo, but that’s that. Also, since it is off the Avlade servers, I’m not sure if this was meant for public distribution. It’s great content though, and doesn’t hurt anybody’s interests. If you get to know more about the specifics, ping me.
