I need to know how to download the complete developers guide
to my flash drive.  I hope there is a pdf version somewhere.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately this page doesn't yet have the entire DevGuide for 3.1.

You can build the PDF yourself though.  At the top of the first page of
each chapter is a link "Download as PDF or ODT".
 1. Click that link in each chapter you want to download
 2. Click "Load collection" (link on the left side of the Wiki page)
 3. On the right in the Download box, select the format and click the
Download button.
 4. Repeat for each chapter you want to save/download.

The goal is to have an ODT and PDF as a snapshot for each major release.
 The process is still being worked on and is currently on hold, waiting
on the Wiki engine upgrade.  After the engine upgrade, we will be able
to use the latest Collection (Book) tools and take another step towards
a more automatic process.  For now, it does take a small amount of work
to build the PDF - the up side being that it is current as of the day
you create the PDF (with all edits and corrections up to that point).
