Editing Work

Online Editing

I have had a wonderful string of editing positions for Java websites. I was the founding editor for java.net which is now in Chris Adamson’s capable hands. I also edited O’Reilly’s ONJava.com and the IBM developerWorks site the Java Zone.

Everyday Scripting with Ruby: For Teams, Testers, and You

Brian Marick set out to write a book that was targeted at testers. Maybe he has. We pushed him to retitle his book to Everyday Scripting with Ruby because reviewers kept telling us it was a great way to learn Ruby and a collection of great techniques for scripters - even those who weren’t testers. This was the first book I edited for The Pragmatic Programmers.

TextMate: PowerEditing for the Mac

James Edward Gray II has done a wonderful job with the TextMate book available from The Pragmatic Programmers. I enjoyed editing this book as it forced me to delve into the nooks and crannies of TextMate and find out how little of its power I was taking advantage of.
