This is an experiment.  Its not an open source project per sey, but we thought it would be an interesting experiment to not only let people see the processes of putting a technical book together, but invite feedback on comments as the process goes along. We do not have a full idea of how this will work … and thats the fun of it.

So first off, lets put a little background together…

When I thought about writing this book, I was going to write it myself and go about it the traditional way.  Then I thought it would be more fun, and a better book, if I brought in a few friends. As we started thinking about how we can work together using various social media tools including this blog. Then we thought.. Why dont we open this process in the spirit of social media?  And thus we begin!
