eBook on ASP.NET 3.5 Service Pack 1 First Draft
After much pain, agony, cussing, and fussing, I have shipped off the first draft of an eBook on ASP.NET 3.5 Service Pack 1 to Wiley/Wrox. In a moment of
weaknessfoolishness back in September, I told Jim Minatel at Wiley that I would write an eBook on the new features in ASP.NET 3.5 Service Pack 1. I wasn't able to start until October. I kinda mistakenly glossed over the fact that I was speaking at VSLive in Last Vegas, spent a week going through Ohio to do 7 talks, got sick for what ended up being 12 days, and had my laptop crash on me causing me to lose my first ten pages. Finally, this morning I shipped off the first draft. -

"Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX" status update - April 23, 2007
The production editor emailed with a question. Thank goodness it was a small thing. This weekend was the first free weekend in a while. I played golf, watched the kids play softball/baseball, did a podcast, and played basketball. All without the spector of the book. Actually, I have loved working on this book, however, one does need a change.

"Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX" status update - April 19, 2007
Two inquiries from the publisher today. While not horrible or hard by any stretch of the imagination, it still creates a distraction when I have lots to do. These 14 hour days are getting old. Does the pain and agony ever stop?

No more do I think I am done, but I have more to do on our book. Our book has gone to production, however, there were still a few english changes that needed to be made. I don't understand why these editors don't like my creative use of the english language. "I is a developer, not a writer."

"Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX" Status Update April 15, 2007
As always, there is more stuff to do with a book. Well, the publisher sent some stuff to me at the end of last week that they needed back. It wasn't much. I worked for an hour or two and then emailed it in. Does writing ever end?
