Congratulations Aaron

As a devout WordPress user that is always wanting to learn more, I will watch for the book.

No GPL on the book, but the code is certainly GPL. ;-) And the book will have a code site on the Wiley site but I’m not sure if it will only be able to be accessed if you own the book. That’s a Wiley question. It will not be eBooked either. You gotta buy the book so you can put moolah in my trowzahs!

Coming to this a little late…

So if you write a book that includes WordPress code snippets, that would have no real value without WordPress, does that mean the book has to be published under GPL? ;)

I hope there will be an ebook version with copy/paste working, really hard to search a paperback.

Awesome! I can’t wait for it to become available – keep us in the loop when we can buy it. I would love to read it before release and give my insight : – 0

Take care

Awesome news Aaron. Having written my masters thesis five years ago, I have no desire to even attempt to write a book while juggling a full time job and a growing family. I am however, jealous of the opportunity and the exposure you will be receiving but you richly deserve it. Congratulations!

Thanks, Lisa. Good luck with your updates too! :)

Congratulations on the deal, Aaron. 700 pages is a lot of space you can use to give an advice and share your precious experience with WordPress.

I look forward to adding it to my collection ;-)

Congratulations on the book deal, finally, after all the willy nilly circumstances around the delays. :)

Congratulations! Really looking forward to reading your book.

Congratulations, Aaron! You had mentioned quite some time ago (I think on Twitter?) that you were submitting a TOC for a book project.. and in my talks with my Wiley editor, I knew they had a ‘Bible’ book in the works for WP… so I figured it was you – and it was :) No better person to write it – and best of luck with it!

I have MU/BuddyPress For Dummies coming out in Dec. and the 3rd Ed. of WordPress For Dummies in Jan – so I totally feel your pain on juggling the writing with the day-to-day’s – it can be done!

And no scraping allowed! lol

I may hold you to that! :)

Haha! Yeah, for real. I expect my offline social activity to decrease a bit.

Well it was nice knowing you. See you when you return in October. (speaking from experience here!)

W00t! Dunno if you recall, but you helped me stay sane during writing Blog Marketing, and I told you at the time that if I could ever do the same for you, I would in a heartbeat. I know how hard it is to write a book, so if I can do ANYTHING, just ask mate :)

Aaron,

Nice job; your writing abilities and style will lend itself well to the “Bible.”

Look forward to seeing it…

Have fun in the mountains.

Congrats, Aaron….plenty of mountains and solitude out this way if you DOend up needing to take that route. Good luck regardless.

Great going, Aaron — an exceptional life accomplishment you’ll be hugely proud of. Until then, prepare to be impossibly cranky. Good luck!

Markov Chains – aka, screwing with the space time continuum and violating the prime directive.

Star Wars reference in post. Star Trek reference in comments. I’d say that’s a pretty good day. :-)

Google for “markov chains” :P

I need text! Can you magic up some text for me? About 700 pages worth, thankyouverymuch! ;-)

Outstanding new Aaron, this book is a long time coming and you’re the guy to do it. Let me know if you need any stock photography for the pages. ;-)

What?! There will be attribution. Mostly because I don’t have the patience to deal with kludgey regexes that strip the attribuution out! ;-)

Yeah, she’s been great. Also, thanks for referring me to Lynn. She’s been a rock star through the whole process.
