"As far as the business goes, I make a lot more in royalties on my beginner C# videos that O’Reilly distributes than I do on all my book royalties and editing fees."

By a huge margin! And putting together that beginner course only took me a couple of months working in my spare time, and recording it only took a couple of days in O'Reilly's studio.

I still edit my friend's programming books, but I sure don't do it for the money.

Hi Eric, Thanks for all the hard work you did (and doing) putting high-quality technical content on the web. I always consult your blog (or, in all laziness, your SO repertoire) first when in doubt with C#. You're hands down the best explainer of cs-things ever.

Thank you, that's a kind thing to say. I find that if I cannot explain a topic clearly to someone else, I probably don't understand it very well myself. :-)
