Alex Kipman posts pointers to an online version of chapter 2 of Brent Rector's book.

The part talking about Ant and NAnt has been completely rewritten and now looks a lot nicer and more informed than the original version (search for the English language text under TLS347).

I'm sure Alex has played a significant role in this and want to thank him - as well as I want to thank Brent for reconsidering the section.

Brent's main point now is that Ant places the burden of timestamp based dependency tracking on task writers, I think I've addressed this already. I obviously still think that Ant's choice is the better one 8-)

The other point is about "build scripts" vs. "project manifest", that I'll have to think about a bit more.

Steven Noels: Envy me.

Oh man, I do.

Unfortunately I couldn't make it to ApacheCon in Las Vegas, I certainly hope we'll have one in Europe next year. I also envy him for having the member T-Shirt and hope Erik will be able to pick up one for me.
