Manning Publications Tracking Order Status

Do not even consider buying a book here! Once they get a hold of your email address the spamming never stops! Up to three, four e-mails a day with spam, unsubscibing is pointless. Spam, spam, spam. Awful.

(updated review after new version of MEAP book) I have limited, but good experience with only two books: ‘Blazor in action’ which is absolutely a 5 star product. Great explanation on the subject and a very nice project (Blazing trails) from start to finish. Including a lot of useful information for everyone who want to build a real life Blazor app, including authentication and authorization, JavaScript interop, …. Very nice to buy the printed version and get the pdf version for free. My second experience is on: ‘.NET MAUI in action’ which is a MEAP product. This book has a good introduction on .NET MAUI. A MEAP product is nice, because you get early access on previews of the book. The final version includes different projects which cover many topics on .NET MAUI. The book is accompanied with codelabs and for each chapter starter and finished projects are available. The option 'read in live book' is great: additional comments are added to the examples. You can mark and add your own notes. Hopefully both books gets new updated editions for new .NET versions. Updating the 'BlazingTrails' project to .NET 7 is not trivial due to some outdated libraries and you can apply the new C# 11 required members. Ordering is quick and trustful for the Netherlands. Also very handy to get access to the books in your manning account. The only thing missing is information how to leave a review of your product. I want to give ‘Blazor in action’ 5 stars, but I do not see the option even when you bought the book on the Manning site.

Manning is a riddle. The book end of things in terms of editors and authors is great, but the product end is thoughtless / buggy garbage. Examples: - Bought a physical book, but the website doesn't tell me if it is shipped. No tracking too - Bought a LiveBook only to find the syntax formatting is garbage. It's not hard, but they've apparently chosen to hand roll something that does stupid stuff like highlighting the word "is" in a string constant. Also adds whitespaces and indents where it shouldn't. - Bought audio with a LiveBook, only to find out the hover over to get to a play button doesn't work most of the time. Depends on the paragraph - If you don't like a book format, guess what, full price to get another format. e.g. to get a pdf version when you have a LiveBook So in summary, I love the content but absolutely hate the product end. The developers / product folks at Manning need to up their game.

There was a problem with payment but it was solved by support. Great books for good price. Highly recommend.
