Mike's Closing Comments

Our first external author, Mike Clark, just blogged on the experience of writing for us. He makes some really good points about the efficiency of a process where everyone is working on the same source for a book, using decent collaboration tools.

We're in Borders

I just checked some local bookstores—the Pragmatic Starter kit books are now available in some Borders! That’s pretty neat: in a way the loop is now closed. If you’ve been waiting to thumb through a book before buying, now’s your chance.

So, next time you’re in a Borders, check to see if we’re there. (And next time you’re in Barnes and Noble, ask ‘em why they take so long to place orders :)
