Well, at least this answers all the blather regarding what Joel's been up to lately and why he's not been visible on the forum. He's been busy writing a book!

From what I gather it is simply a reprint of a lot of the essays he's written on joelonsoftware, with the only real difference being that they've been professionally edited (which was likely detrimental to them given how readable they already are).

"Yes, it's mostly reprints of articles which you've already read on this site over the last four years"

I better save on disk all the articles. Just in case Joel decides to take them offline. I can't afford a printed book :-(

It is kind of sad that the Amazon link above has a section called "About the author" and then goes on to describe the careers of several distinguished people, none of whom are Joel. He doesn't even get a mention.

Stevie,

does anyone know about book publisher data management? i went into the bookstore last month to look at a computer book. months ago it was listed as being written by jon doe, but it seems jon doe bowed out and it was written by jane smith. some computer systems, including the one in the bookstore where the book was sitting, still listed jon doe as the author. amazon lists both authors.

Hmmm. I think Amazon's halo must be have slipped a bit.

Well, I just wanted to give a big congratulations for Joel for publishing this book. I surely enjoyed reading the articles on this site, and gained some new insights from them.

I must say I do like the idea of hurling at my boss and coworkers. I must remember to buy the hard cover.
At last I can get my manager to read Joel's essays.

How about the Steve Jones who was a member of the Sex Pistols?
"Steve Jones is professor and head of the Department of Communication at the University of Illinois at Chicago."
?
Nope, I'm not him.

I forgot to mention before, I hope Joel will include the hilarious "Perfectionism" essay in his new book.
