It just dawned on me that we haven’t updated the status of The Art of Scalability on our blog recently.  Fish and I have been frequently providing updates via Facebook (Marty, Fish), LinkedIn (Marty, Fish) and Twitter (Marty, Fish) but we haven’t done anything on the blog.

Amazon just updated their image with the final book cover.  Major changes are a quote on the front cover and the mention of Bob Davis’ very well written foreword.

We just completed reviewing the final copies of the chapters, the index, and all of the administrative pages of the book.  The publisher has given us a “binding” (binding of the books – not a “contractual” binding) date of December 22d and suggested that the book will ship to stores before the end of December.   Two more milestones to go and those are seeing the book in bookstores and signing copies for friends!

The Art of Scalability is available for pre-order at your favorite site.

It’s a big day for our little book!  You can now pre-order The Art of Scalability at Barnes and Noble,  Amazon,and Borders.

The Art of Scalability has been updated on the Safari Books Online Website. We now have the (current) introduction through chapter 22 (of 32 chapters) online. The people and process sections are posted in their entirety and there are two technology chapters now available.
There’s still plenty of time to read the book in its entirety or just selectively peruse chapters and give us feedback! Help us make the book better and more useful!

Chapters 1 through 10 of The Art of Scalability have been published online at Safari Books Online. The folks at Pearson Publishing (Addison-Wesley and Prentice-Hall) are working on getting chapters 11 through 20 online soon. We just completed editing through chapter 24 of 32 chapters.

We will have one more round of editing before the January, 2010 launch of the book, so it’s not too late for you to sign up for Safari Books Online, review our book and give us your valuable insights!
