shannon_aI think it's pretty funny that when you search for my name on Amazon you get the following two entries:
Elves and iPhones. Hmm. And separated by precisely one year.
The iPhone book continues. It's a lot of work. It's the most concentrated tech writing that I've done since I worked at Sun in 1997-1998 when I wrote and edited a whole series of technical documents for the network division of the solutions center.
This work has been stressful, because the technology is changing week by week. We're also on a short deadline, balancing new writing and response to current reviews. I think we're going to get a good book out of it, but I'm looking forward to things being easier next month when this book is at least completely drafted.
Our publisher is having a pre-order sale for anyone who picks up the book before the release of the iPhone 3G next week.
