Very soon now
By tomorrow evening, I should be looking at the final draft of the book.
It’s been adjusted according to the final Prototype 1.6.0 API (which we did, at long last, freeze this week) , it’s been through a first pass of copy editing (the major one), I processed that, and Daniel Steinberg, my editor, put in yet another pass. The last stage of the final draft is… getting the preface. Which should happen tomorrow.
Next week, the book gets professionally indexed (you have to love the index in any Pragmatic Bookshelf title), and then it’s on to typesetting. And then the final PDF is here. The rest is just printing and distribution: those who want the final content will be able to grab it directly online, on the book’s web page.
I’m anxious to see it out, almost to the point of giddiness.
Very soon now… Stay tuned.
