I just noticed that my name has been officially added to the details of this forthcoming book from Apress. Very excited by this turn of events— suddenly I feel all legitimate. And on-the-hook.
For those wondering about the book’s history: it was originally started by Mike Ash of Rogue Amoeba, but was handed off to me after he chose to spend more time with his actual life (I don’t have one of these, and therefore am able to spend time writing books). Mike turned out a good few chapters himself, and I’ve stepped in to handle the remaining chapters, drafts, etc. Most of the final content will be written by me, but I can’t be thankful enough for having someone with Mike’s impressive pedigree to point me in the right direction.
I’m not certain when the book is expected to be released just yet (March 2010-ish maybe?) but those who’ve asked me about early access could do a lot worse than to check out the book on Apress.com via the link above. They do alpha/beta releases of their books, and while I’ve no idea what’s planned for this one, that’s where you’ll find out.
