Fundamentals of software design, actually... ie, where there's a BIG GAPING HOLE in the literature. So this should have the same sort of legs as, say, the original Design Patterns text, which is coming up on 15 years. I hope.
Robo, thank you - that's the sort of publishing for dummies I needed.
I feel like I've skipped over a few of the steps... this was originally my dissertation (ie, I have 400 pages to pull material from, so a lot of it is already written in better than rough draft form), I got introduced to an editor at A-W through a colleague, and in one week I've gone from "oh hey, I should do this" to having a call with said editor in the morning to discuss next steps. That was my cue to find out what the hell I was getting into. (Especially since he also mentioned a video series?!? WTF??)
I appreciate any and all info/advice/wisdom, guys.
