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.

Chapter 13 was submitted with 3,490 words. The writing came easily, although I completely finished saying what I wanted to say after only 14 pages. As I said in my last post, it could have been combined with another chapter.

Chapter 14 is completely written as well. I sat down and wrote it in one day - 8 or 9 hours. 4,421 words to that one, spanning 21 pages. I couldn't believe how easy that one was to write. I had originally thought that "Making Your Program Error Proof" would have been difficult to write. After all, its much easier to talk about each of the properties and methods of the document object than to talk the "theory" of good program design. But I did it, and I love it This might be the best chapter so far.

Only one more chapter to go. Should be easy -- Using JavaScript with Multimedia. Some examples including Java applets, Flash animations, video files and music should be enough to fill all 16 pages that I planned to write.

I still have about half of the page proofs to go through. Some extra content, like the inner front cover and inner back cover. They changed the cover graphic slightly from what is currently being displayed on amazon.com. It looks better.

Anyways, will finish off Chapter 14 tonight and send it. Perhaps put a few pages into Chapter 15, although I wanted to do most of that over the weekend. Maybe I'll take a break from it all tonight...

Scott
