At the present moment, I’ve just written a book: Introducción a Visual Basic 2005 Express. Ed. Inated.
However, this is not about the books I wrote (I would write another book, if I were offered), but about those books and articles I read. I write their titles or authors because I am often asked to give references about them and I cannot recommend them to my colleagues or friends because I forget the title.
Feel free to visit my wish list if you would want to know what I am planning to buy next (or if you want to make me a present instead).
