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.

I finally getting back into some kind of writing groove again. I polished off the new Chapter 1, "Prepare to Program in JavaScript", today at 5,975 words, and I spent an hour or so pumping 800 words into Chapter 2, "Learn JavaScript Fundamentals". I have a party to go to tonight, but I (almost) would rather be home trying to get more done. Hopefully I will be able to spend most of the day tomorrow at this.

Thinking about authors who can bang out more than a couple of books a year has inspired me I guess. Do they award the Pulitzer Prize for computer books?

Best wishes,
Scott
