On March 1, I started writing the <cite>YUI 3 Cookbook<\/cite>, due from <a href=\"http:\/\/oreilly.com\/about\/\">O&#8217;Reilly Press<\/a> early next year.<\/p>\n<p>This is all on top of my regular job, so taking on this project has unfortunately meant some&#8230; lifestyle cutbacks. For instance, there&#8217;s a guy at work who has decorated his cube and the adjacent hallway with posters and paraphernalia from every newly released computer game known to man. This means I have to steel my nerves and walk past a <a href=\"http:\/\/dragonage.bioware.com\">Dragon Age II<\/a> poster every day. Every day, people!<\/p>\n<p>Those sacrifices aside, I&#8217;m thrilled that YUI team asked me to work on this project, and my wife and young son have been enormously supportive about the whole thing. At least, I think my son is supportive. Whenever I ask him about it, he says &#8220;Hey!&#8221; and tries to chew on my finger, which I&#8217;m pretty sure means, &#8220;Go Dad!&#8221; Either that, or he&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=un2EfjEJAOA\">saving up his grievances for later<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some info about the <cite>YUI 3 Cookbook<\/cite>, in order of priority:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No, I do not know <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oreillymaker.com\/\">which animal is going to be on the cover<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>The material will focus exclusively on <a href=\"http:\/\/yuilibrary.com\">YUI 3<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>The cookbook will contain over 200 recipes. Each recipe has the form &#8220;Problem&#8221;, &#8220;Solution&#8221;, and &#8220;Discussion&#8221;, much like other cookbooks released by O&#8217;Reilly.<\/li>\n<li>The total length will be on the order of 500 pages, including TOC and index.<\/li>\n<li>In the YUI Library forums, I&#8217;ve <a href=\"http:\/\/yuilibrary.com\/forum\/viewtopic.php?f=18&amp;t=7481\">created a thread<\/a> with links to a strawman TOC and a sample PDF. The material is completely unedited, not technically reviewed, and riddled with red TODOs. But it should give you an idea of the scope and style.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Much more to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My wife and young son have been enormously supportive about the whole thing.
