The book has arrived!

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

I spent Thursday and Friday in DC at my company’s annual anniversary event - we had loads of fun, as you might be able to tell from these pics. After getting home around 2am on Saturday morning, I crashed… and when I woke up on Saturday, I discovered that the author copies of my book, Practical REST on Rails 2 Projects, had been delivered on Friday. It looks like you can go ahead and order it from Amazon, or wait a bit longer for it to show up in your local bookstore - but finally, the wait is (really) over!

First draft - complete!

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

So last night I submitted the first draft of the final chapter of my book for Apress… There’s still a lot of work left to do (especially on that chapter), but I think this is a nice milestone to note.

I’m also close to halfway done on the second drafts, so it looks like I’m making good progress overall - and as we get closer to publication, I’ll start posting more about the book itself (and the writing process) here. Gotta build that buzz, right?
