Scott Duffy's Book Writing Log

An account of my experiences writing computer programming books.

Hi there. My name is Scott Duffy, and welcome to my book writing log. I have documented the process of writing my last two books on this site, and have started my third. This book will be called Visual Studio Team System In Action, and should be available in 2005.

Well, such is the life of a book author.

Things have progressed quickly in the past week. I rewrote Chapter 1 to conform to the new format. I was able to keep some of the original text, but you'd be surprised how much has changed. There must be a metaphor out there about how once you change one sentence, you are forced to change the next and so on... but I can't think of it. Anyways, rewriting this first chapter was like a chain reaction. Not to mention that I had to surgically remove all of the "advanced level" stuff, and change my tone from mostly serious to a little less serious...
