I’ve been working on the Quartz.Net eBook and I have put together an outline of what the contents will be once it is finished. I thought I would share the table of contents with you and I would appreciate any comments you might have. I’m especially interested in getting feedback regarding which sections are more interesting and important for you. I’d also like to know if there are any sections that are of absolutely no value so that I can cut them out.

I don’t usually include personal topics in this blog but I think I will give it a try going forward. This is my first post and it’s to encourage you to join me for this year’s Movember celebration..

My commitment is to grow a moustache for the month of November and by changing my appearance, raise vital awareness and funds for men’s health, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives.

If you’d like to join the movement, visit the Movember page and sign up. Start your own team or join one of the existing ones.

If you would like to, you may help help support my personal journey by making a donation at http://mobro.co/jayvilalta The size of the donation isn’t important, every little bit helps Movember continue its funding of world-class programs. 

To highlight the importance of what I am doing, take a look at these statistics:
•  1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime
•  This year 242,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed
•  This year 8,290 men will be diagnosed with testicular cancer

For more details, take a look at the Programs We Fund section on the Movember website: http://us.movember.com/about/funding-overview/

In this series of posts we will cover the use of calendars in Quartz.Net. In this first post we’ll start off by explaining what calendars are and what they’re used for. We’ll also describe all of the calendars that are included with the Quartz.Net distribution. In following posts we’ll look at examples of how to use the different calendars and eventually we’ll build our own custom calendar.
