Professional DotNetNuke 5 Module Programming Update 

A while I provided an update and even asked for a bit of community input regarding the content to be included in my soon to be released book "Professional DotNetNuke 5 Module Programming".  I have to first of all thank all members of the community that provided feedback and suggestions as to what you wanted to see covered in the book.  I took all comments very seriously and did my best to ensure that the book can tailor to the needs of the greatest common denominator.

With that in mind today I reached what I consider to be a major milestone in the book writing process, the 100% submission mark.  As of this morning, the first draft of all chapters, appendix items, and code samples have been submitted.  It has been a very long process, in the works since early July if I recall correctly, but finally I can start to see a book that is going to be very helpful to the entire development community.  Now that the book's content has been defined, I thought I would share the final, at least for now, table of contents.  The following is a listing of chapters and appendix items included in the book.
