Hi Ton -- Thanks for asking about Advanced AmiBroker.
I am deep in preparation for my speeches at the Australian Technical Analysts Association meeting in Melbourne in October. That will be followed by five days of workshops I'll be presenting, also in Melbourne. To avoid any unnecessary stress on myself, as well as having customers disappointed that I missed a deadline, I have not committed to a deadline. But, if things stay reasonably on schedule, the book will go to the printer sometime around the first of the year and be available two or three months after that. More information about the ATAA Conference can be found at this site: http://www.ataa.com.au/2009-annual-ataa-conference.html And more information about my workshops at this site: http://www.howardinaustralia.com.au/ And more information about Advanced AmiBroker at this site: http://www.advancedamibroker.com/index.html Thanks, Howard On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 7:00 AM, Ton Sieverding <[email protected]>wrote: > > > BTW Howard, what's the status of your next book ? > > Regards, Ton. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > *From:* Howard B <[email protected]> > *To:* [email protected] > *Sent:* Thursday, September 10, 2009 2:47 PM > *Subject:* Re: [amibroker] Status of Norgate Premium Data for Amibroker > > > > Greetings -- > > The chapter of my book, Introduction to AmiBroker, that describes > installation of databases includes a section on installing Norgate Premium > Data.
