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.

Chapter 7 ended up being very, very difficult to write (15,400 words). I basically had to stay up for 48 straight hours, more or less. I did manage to get two 1-hour naps in there, but still...

Now it's on to the last chapter. Chapter 8 -- application physical design. Turning the logical design model into a phyiscal design specification. I hope it's a lot easier to write than the last one.

On top of that, I have to write 81 multiple choice questions, as part of a quiz on the CD. I tried to outsource this work, but it didn't work out. That is a story to be told another day.
