Martin Logan is Giving the Following Talks
Writing a Technical Book


Ever thought about writing a book? I think many of us have, but have no idea where to start or what it would take. In this talk we will write our experiences over the last two years writing the book Erlang and OTP in Action for Manning.  The journey has been a challenging, thought provoking, informative, and very often times an absurd and humorous one. We will relate everything from how togo about proposing a book to a publisher, coming up with a good table of  contents, working with an editor, reviews, production and moving toward print, and quite a bit more.

The presentation slides from this talk are available here: http://prezi.com/pmq-hxzhh7vv/writing-a-technical-book/
