Mid-August status update
August 13th, 2008 by Bryan O'Sullivan
After a few weeks of silence, here is an update on our recent progress and current work.
We have spent the past few weeks editing chapters in response to the comments of our beta readers. Thanks to everyone who has provided feedback. We have now revised about three quarters of the book’s chapters, with the remainder to come over the next week or so.
As for writing, we have just finished the chapter about Haskell’s foreign function interface. If time permits, we’ll post that tonight, and perhaps update the existing chapters to reflect the changes we have been making.
Once the current editing pass is done, we still have two late chapters left to write. The entire manuscript should be drafted by the end of this month.
On the production side, several of our early chapters are proceeding through O’Reilly’s copy editing department. It will still be several weeks before we can give a reasonable estimate of the book’s availability.
