Re: Any recommendable books about Forms ?

[Quoted] Hi, Daniel,

at least thank You for this confirmation =( ... I also received mail responses to my question, they say the same. Really a pity !

Please keep this NG informed about Your coming class. Unfortunately, it is almost sure that I may not be able
to attend it. Do You already have a curriculum ? What would it cover ?

And, do You plan to make Your notes available to this community, too ? It needs not to be for free, I think I and more people would pay for a useful book ...

Yours, Jan
