I’m writing the book I wished I’d read

Dear new developers,

Update July 5, 2020: I now have a launch date and a cover.

You may have noticed the pace of new letters has slowed down a bit. There have been some fantastic guest posts, but there’s only been one new letter per week for a while. There’s a reason for that.

I’m excited to announce that I’m writing a book. It’s the book I wished I’d had when I was beginning my development career.

It’s based on this blog, with ideas, text and guest posts drawn from it. The format is similar: letters covering a variety of topics. However, all the content has been thoroughly reviewed, organized and revised. You’ll also see new letters covering topics left untouched by this blog.

I just shipped off the first half of the book to the publisher. If you want to be in the loop, contact me to be put on the book announcement list.
