Hitchhiker's Guide to Visual Studio and SQL Server (7th Edition)--It's Done

The latest edition in the Hitchhiker’s Guide series is finally done—at least my part. The book is in edit (and has been for awhile). This means we can expect to see it on shelves in about four months (hopefully less). Clearly, this is not a good way to get current information into your hands. As it is, the book is over 800 (Microsoft Office Word) pages. That means it’ll push 900 pages on the shelf if we keep all of the content. Yes, it will also include a DVD and a slew of examples, sample databases and possibly some Camtasia™ videos (if I find the time). I plan to post the outline here before long.

I have already outlined a half-dozen Ebooks to supplement the HHG. I’m still looking for a publisher that knows how to best expose these to the web without giving them away. Since my readers are some of the brightest people in the world, they also have the skills to defeat any simple electronic format. Anyone with a suggestion as to an IP rights management system should drop me a line or comment here.
