  2. Thanks.

    I got in last night after work and dancing and I just didn’t have the energy to do anything more than take a picture. But yeah, I’m super-excited.

  4. Just going to add to the general congtratulations being left here.

    So how’s it feel to see your name on the cover like that?

  5. It’s pretty sweet, definitely. I know I’ve seen Apress books at the UW bookstore before; I’ll be curious to see if they stock this one.

  6. Guess I’m late with the blog congrats, although I gave mine in person (more sincere and all that). But I will hop on the bandwagon and congratulate you here as well. My question is how much more content there will be on the blog for the book outside of the book itself? There seems to already be a fair amount of new and creative stuff going on there!

  7. Brandon: I have several articles lined up to publish on the book’s blog, and I believe Cam and Jeff do as well. I like having an outlet to write about geekier stuff.

    But yeah, everything on http://googlemapsbook.com is original content; any excerpts or sample chapters will be clearly marked.

  10. You have one! jealous It was a pleasure working with you on this Mike. Suprisingly little collaboration between us when I look back. I guess that can be considered a good thing.

    I was in Chapters last night, and had a look at some other Apress books, but unfortunately didn’t see this one. Wow, you got this on the 10th, where have I been?

  11. Thank You
