Michael's book

Michael Brundage ’s book on XQuery is now posted on Amazon.  He tells me it is “done”.  I read an early draft, and found it quite interesting and entertaining.  Unfortunately, it won't be ready for the holiday season '03 (it will be out in early '04), so a lot of people are going to have to rethink their gift giving plans.

 

By finishing his book, Michael has motivated me to think about writing a book myself.  My book won't be 448 pages long and probably won't be about XQuery.  I believe I have settled on a topic and have actually started a couple of chapters, now I just need to get motivated to fully commit.

 

Incidentally, Michael is a graduate of Cal Tech which seems to be the modern center of science and engineering research.  I didn't realize that fact until I read the memoirs of Richard Feynman which incidentally is an extremely good book.
