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.

Publishing Existing Content

Four years ago, I put many hundreds of hours of work into a book entitled "JavaScript 2 Black Book". That book never got published, because the publisher went out of business. JS2 Black Book is still listed on Amazon.com today, although it says "Out of Print". Ha! It was never In Print!

Until today.

I've decided, as a precursor to writing a book from scratch, to release the old JavaScript 2 Black Book to the world. It is available as of now on Lulu at the following URL:

I am going through the book page by page, and updating content that is no longer relevant. Some things are being deleted, and some things are being added. That will take some time, but hopefully not too much time. And so this first batch is only the first chapter, with new chapters to be added each week.

I hope by the end of August 2006 to have the entire book available. Since I am releasing it chapter by chapter, of course those that buy the book now will be entitled to the entire thing (by PDF) when it is complete. Simply email me a copy of the lulu.com receipt and I will glady email you the whole thing when it's ready.

Much thanks to anyone who purchases this book. I'll keep you updated at this blog as to the progress, as new content is being added.
