Jaroslav Tulach's Daily Life Blog

New L&F of apidesign.org

There was a lot of factors that influenced me last year, when I was searching for publisher of my book. However one of them must have been slickness of cover. I really like the black and yellow style of Apress books. I like it so much that I decided to make it the default Look and Feel of the apidesign.org website.

I'd started with MonoBook theme and modified it to be a bit darker. I do not code CSS for living, but CSS file editing support in NetBeans IDE is good, so it was quite entertaining experience. I am sure not everything is perfect, but I'll keep fixing problems as they appear. If you notice something ugly or broken, let me know.

There is a Reason Why Every Book is Dedicated to Family

I've heard this sentence at the J1 this year and I cannot get it out of my mind. Yes, family plays a really big role in the life of a writer. So please let me thank to it as well to other friends.

Good Book Needs Good Reviewers

It is time to thank to all my reviewers as today I've found out that you can order my book on Amazon.com. Please look at my little ThanksReviewers to find out why to order my book. I believe that all reviewers really shape it to something worth reading. Thanks a lot.

Removing Fear of Writing Documentation

Heuréka! As I've just noted in a dedicated page describing chapter 16, Teamwork one GeertjanWielenga's fear has just been overcome!

Adventures with PHP and MediaWiki

During the last week, I was slightly playing with various enhancements to the content of the API Design wiki.

Book is never Written by a Single Person

The Practical API Design book has been sent for print over the last weekend. I take it as a good opportunity to say thanks to all the people who helped me write it. The first set of ThanksEveryone notes is now available and covers those who "manually" contributed. I still need to thank to all those support "units" around me - something left for next blog entry...

Entering the Blogosphere

I have created my blog, does it mean that I finally exist?
