A couple of weeks ago i started contributing recipes to the O’Reilly Rails Cookbook which Rob Orsini is writing. It’s the first time i’ve contributed to a technical book, up until now all of my published writing has been about politics or internet / media analysis and related topics. After years of reading the animal books i’m starting to write for one. It’s pretty exciting. I know the ‘cool kids’ are publishing with the pragmatic programmers, and DHH thinks O’Rielly is old school but still have a warm spot in my heart for black and white animal covers and oreilly style.
It’s interesting to work on a cookbook when Chad has finished his Rails Recipies book already. When you have a book out there that already covers the same topic, it raises the bar. Hopefully I can help the Rails Cookbook be useful contribution to the rails community and new rails developers.
