News on the Book

By David Golding | Print This Post Print This Post

Well, I’m sorry about the delay on this, but I’m really excited about the outcome of the book. Apress has picked up the book and will be publishing it in July. I had hoped to finish it before then and get it into your hands sooner, since I am well aware of the need for new formats for Cake documentation, and I know that many of you like the possibilities of Cake but want a quicker introduction to it. But to release the book with a credible publisher right off the bat is more important for the community and it provides me the time and means to finish the book. I’ll post more details as the book progresses, but rest assured, I’ll have it out there as soon as possible. You can check out its listing on Amazon.com.

Heartiest congratulations on the book - I am sure this will be a much needed resource. I am certainly glad that you managed to keep out of the legal quagmire which sunk the previous book :)

congratulations, the Cake community really needs some solid 3rd party documentation. My own learning process has been derailed a number of times because I can develop faster outside of Cake. I recognize the opportunities that Cake provides but without solid documentation from a users perspective, it definitely makes the framework more difficult to learn.
