Converting my OOP with ColdFusion series into a book.

I've had a lot of feedback on both the OOP and Mach-II series via e-mail, through comments and in person. Many people have said they've been trying to learn these concepts that "all the blogs talk about", that there aren't many resources out there and that my series has been easy to understand. Hopefully, and with some help, I can write a book that's easy to understand as well.

Ben Nadel's Gravatar @Adrian,

Sounds like a great idea. As someone who is always trying to get a grasp on OOP, a good, easy to read book on the subject would be awesome. And, the decision to go without a framework - AWESOME! Why complicate the process if you don't have to.

Sami Hoda's Gravatar Adrian,

I'm willing to review as a long time M2 person (since Aug 03). I once started on the same path myself, but got distracted.

As for publishing, I would suggest something like Lulu (http://www.lulu.com/).

Best of luck.
-Sami

Michael White's Gravatar seems like O-Reilly has some eBook options, too (I bought a PDF ebook about High Definition Photography the other day) so even if it doesn't get a physical book (preferred) people could buy/download the eBook version. Either way, my money is down on the table the minute it's available

Greg Morphis's Gravatar Great idea. I would love to pick that book up..
Hopefully you won't stop making the articles in the meantime on your blog though!

Peace

Fitz's Gravatar I will have this book on my Christmas gift list... right next to my pony. I will certainly be picking up and loving this book.

Rob W's Gravatar Would be a great book! What I like about this blog is the lack of assumptions about my prior knowledge.

Most of the big name CF blogs are pitched at advance programmers - whereas this blog leads intermediate level folk like me along perfectly.

Thanks again for the reesource

James, F.E.'s Gravatar This sounds like a great idea. I've been relying heavily on your series to try and get up to speed on MII and CF OO programming. When does the pre-order phase begin?

If you can't get a major publisher to publish your book maybe Jeff Peters over at ProtonArts (http://www.protonarts.com/) or Hal Helms at Techspedition (http://www.techspedition.com/) could help?
