Hi, I've been planning to purchase some books on the .net 2.0 framework but wonder, in light of recent changes made in the beta 2 release, if it's better to wait another year or so. Does anyone have thoughts as to whether the amount of recent changes is substantial enough to render some books not worth the money and time to read? On the other hand, I presume plenty of books have been written about technologies prior to their final release that remained relevant. Example: 1.0-1.1 had "code-behind", the first 2.0 betas introduced a new "paradigm" for code separation- "code-beside" aka "partial classes". Now that's changed in beta 2 though. The release deadlines for 2.0 keeps getting pushed back and the features to be included continue to change. Any thoughts?
