It looks like
Dr Dobb's reprinted
chapter 7 from
my XNA Book in the September 2007 update to their website. I don't know if it will make it into their print magazine (or if it already has). I didn't see it during a quick glance of my last two issues.

I didn't get a chance to review the content. There's only one problem that jumped out at me when I was looking over the page -- they converted the minus sign in the text to two minus signs. I'm guessing that the publisher converted my minus signs to one of the fancier dash symbols, and that the magazine has an automated conversion process that replaced that special symbol with two HTML-friendly minus signs. Strange. The code didn't seem to get mangled, though. So that's good.
I've put in a request with the publisher to post the source for that chapter, since the text is out there now. Once they reply, I hope to add the files to the download section. I'll post another blog entry to announce the update.
It's a little strange that Dr. Dobb's reprinted chapter 7. They requested chapter 12 (Xbox 360 Considerations), which we sent off to them quite some time ago. I never really thought that 12 was a good fit for their readership -- it's more focused on setup and configuration, with a little techy info mixed in. I'm glad they went with a more generally-useful (broader appeal) chapter.
