I’m writing a book
I’m delighted to announce that I have signed a book deal with Apress publishing (the black and yellow techie books). The book is on Apache CouchDB, an exciting document-oriented database management system that is in active development. I was approached by Apress about the prospect of writing a book on CouchDB after my article “Exploring CouchDB” was published on IBM developerWorks back in March 2009. The book is coming along quite nicely and I’ll have much more information to share shortly.
For now, check out my “Exploring CouchDB” article on IBM developerWorks.
Also, please check out Apress.com for similar books. Apress have published over 700 books on a wide range of technology areas including Programming, Web Development, iPhone Development, Open Source, Operating Systems and much more. Below are some of the excellent books they have published (my book will have a similar cover):




[...] Congrats to Joe Lennon on his book. [...]
