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.

MCSD Study Guide Update

The final chapter for me, Chapter 8, was submitted last week at a hefty 15,953 words. It was one of those chapters where I could have made it twice as long as it ended up being. I had to cut a few topics short, in the name of brevity.

I was also under heavy pressure (for good reason) to submit the chapter, as I was way past my deadline. There is a lesson to be learned here -- be realistic when setting deadlines. There's also a lesson somewhere in there about taking on too many things at once -- I had four things going on at once that deserved attention equally. So I couldn't devote as many hours a week to writing as I should have.

Anyways, I still have one more obligation before this book can be finished. I am writing some mock exam questions for the CD and supplemental web site. 80 questions in all due from me. These are tough to write as well, but its coming along.
