Book project follow up
I'm still getting e-mail about the book I started to write and posted chapters for. Now that ScottGu has formally announced the progress on v2 of ASP.NET MVC, hopefully it's more obvious now why I put off the project. As I said previously, I had to prioritize with some other projects that would yield income sooner, and I was concerned with the speed to market with which I could get it out there (read: not fast enough). I also knew about the second iteration in the pipe, which made it a no-brainer to put it off.

ASP.NET MVC book: Chapter 1: Plumbing
ASP.NET MVC: From Webforms to MVC
by Jeff Putz
The following is a barely-edited draft from the forthcoming book
that will explore Microsoft’s ASP.NET MVC framework from the
view of a traditional Webforms developer. This chapter goes over
the basic plumbing of the framework, while subsequent chapters
will be more focused on the typical use cases that every developer
encounters, and how they relate to their Webforms analogs.
Again, this is a draft, so read with caution. You can find updates on
the status of the book, which will likely be published early summer,
2009, at the following locations:

ASP.NET MVC: From Webforms to MVC - Introduction
This is the introduction for the book I've decided to write. I'm not at all sure how it will see paper yet, and I'm OK with that. I've been looking into self-publishing or on-demand publishing and I'm fairly convinced that it's a real option. I'm still willing to talk to "real" publishers as well, and as usual, I can be reached at jeff at popw dot com.

ASP.NET MVC book proposal
I'm not sure if it's the fact that I'm not working or what, but I'm very seriously thinking about writing another book. Not only that, but if I do it, it will be an ASP.NET MVC book. Some have suggested to me that the space is already too crowded.

The book that started it all
In order to make some room for my own, more current books, and try to free up more space for Diana, I've been going through my old books and making a stack to ditch or give away. Computer books get so hopelessly useless over time. I came across one book, though, that I've decided to keep, just for nostalgia...

ASP.NET AJAX in Action: Awesome!
I haven't bought a programming book in awhile, but I was getting the itch to start reading something a little more in depth to engage my head and perhaps inspire a little. Blogs and other sites just don't offer the kind of depth that a good book can.

Why you should (or shouldn't) write a programming book
I still get questions about writing a programming book, two years after Maximizing ASP.NET came out. I figure maybe it's time to write a blog post on it so I can easily field such questions with a little more substance.

Staggering self-publishing numbers
37singals posted some numbers on their self-published book today. I don't think I need to really add anything, except to say you should look at the numbers versus their dead tree publication.
