Chapter 6 -> Target Batching |
The code reading
<SourceFiles Include="$(SourceFolder)* txt" />
Should probably include a '.' just before 'txt' to read
<SourceFiles Include="$(SourceFolder)*.txt" />

Figure 1-1 |
The example code in Figure 1-1 does not match the command two paragraphs above because it does not include the TARGETS_TO_EXECUTE option. The output for using or not using the TARGETS_TO_EXECUTE option is the same in this case because msbuild uses the first target it finds in the input file. It would be clearer to include the target in the Figure 1-1 example code, similar to the Figure 1-2 example code.

Tables 1-1 and 2-1 |
There are two lists of Reserved Properties:
Ch 1 Table 1-1 Reserved Properties
Ch 2 Table 2-1 Reserved Properties
Not sure why there are two lists to begin with, but the two lists do not match??
MSBuildProjectDirectory - exists in table 1-1, but not in table 2-1
MSBuildProjectDirectoryNoRoot - exists in table 1-1, but not in table 2-1
MSBuildOverrideTasksPath - exists in table 2-1, but not in table 1-1

Chapter 9 - First Sample = Services01.proj
<ExtensionTasksPath> is pointing to the ~\Samples\Contrib\ExtensionPack\4.0
This results in an MSBuild Error indicating that the assembly can not be loaded. It appears that the assemblies in this folder are not the correct version.
Workaround: Set the <ExtensionTasksPath> to point to ~\Samples\Ch08\SetAssemblyVersion\Contrib\ExtensionPack\4.0

PDF pain points -
For whatever reason, when the document opens, my toolbar disappears and I have to manually set 'show toolbars'.
this happens if I have another document open or not.
This does not happen with other pdf books that I own.
When I click on a topic in Bookmarks, the font size reverts to some default value instead of staying at the value I have selected.
I'm using Foxit Reader 4.1.1.0805.

I think I may have humbly found an error, easily fixed and could I be wrong(but it doesn?t compile without the quotes?and they are found in most other places in the book).

Reserved Properties |
Not sure why in the PDF Bookmarks, the items Reserved Properties, Command-line Properties, Dynamic Properties are displayed as sub-topics of Environment Variables?? Shouldn't they be peer topics?
Environment Variables
Reserved Properties
Command-line Properties

1st Paragraph |
On Page 56 the printed paragraph states we will change the AdminContact value where it is equal to "Kim Abercrombie". However the code snippet and the downloaded source code for MetaData01.proj explicitly state Keith Tingle
<Message Text="Overriding AdminContact" Importance="high" />
<!-- Override the AdminContact if it is set to Keith Tingle -->
<ItemGroup>
<Server Condition="'%(Server.AdminContact)' == 'Keith Tingle'">
<AdminContact>Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi</AdminContact>
</Server>
</ItemGroup>

On pages 237-239 it describes updating the config file, specifically the value for <add key="helpUrl" ...>
but in describing the changes as successfully made, the config file results on page 239 of
<add key="helpUrl" value="http://www.sedodream.com"/>
do not match the expected
<add key="helpUrl" value="http://www.sedodream.com/help"/>
as configured to be set on page 238.
