My new book is out!

wrox_book  Well.. not really *my* book. It’s not like I wrote it or anything like that. I was the technical editor on this new book, “Beginning C# 3.0: An Introduction to Object Oriented Programming” by Jack Purdum.

While most people that read this blog will probably not read the book (it’s targeted for _very_ new programmers), there was a ton that I learned while doing the book… but mostly about what it takes to work on a book. It takes a lot!

It also gave me a great appreciation for all of the authors, editors and publishers out there and the effort that they go through to bring us great titles.

 
  • @Ed - very cool. What's the book that you are working on now? (I'm guessing an updated Silverlight book?) Are you planning on writing your own? ;)
  • Awesome man! Tech editing is awesome isn't it? :)

    I'm working on one right now.... with four chapters that were due yesterday haha
