WPF Book Fight - The Forewords

Don Box's Spoutlet

Syndication

I doubt that I'll write another book - I'm enjoying the other side of the production line way too much to endure another book.

However, I do love to write forewords for other people's books. You get the creative rush without the hideous weight of a manuscript. You also are relieved from the tedium of correct spelling (e.g., you can freely interchange “foreword“ and “forward“ at will - thanks Steve!).

This year, I wound up writing forewords for two WPF books (ChrisAn's and Ian/CSells'). 

There's a slight misprint in ChrisAn's book, but the “Second Edition” forward in Ian/Sells looked letter perfect when I read it in the B&N.

Hi Don, if I ever write another book, and I ask for your participation, I'm hoping you'll write a "foreword" rather than a "forward." ;-)

That's what I get for blogging on codine.

Thanks for the catch - fixed with appropriate credit given.

And hey, what's your new email address?

Still not done yet:
'releived' is 'relieved' :-)
