The next book is well underway! We released several chapters from Windows 8 XAML in Action as part of this week's MEAP (Manning Early Access Program) kickoff. Through the MEAP, you get access to chapters right after my development editor takes a look at them. You don't have to wait for the full book to be finished and in print (which takes forever) to be able to use it. Bonus: MEAP chapters have extra snark and pithy footnotes, before they get filtered out by several rounds of content review ;)
