http://nostarch.com/xen/ http://nostarch.com/xen/ This was probably the most difficult project I've ever completed. It was funny; no-starch actually approached me about writing a book, I believe because some of my diaries at Kuro5hin were the first hits for 'pygrub' and 'pvgrub' and a few other xen keywords for a while. But my diaries, I thought, were rather poorly written. The man didn't mention my diaries, so it could have been something else, but that's the only thing I could figure. I said "I'm semi-literate, but I know a guy"[1] and I called up my employee's roommate, a long-term student who switched from computer science to English. If it's readable, he deserves the credit, really. Do I regret it? no. I didn't go to school, and this seems to help make up for that lack of credibility, and yeah, it was difficult, but it was also a lot of fun. The book beginning to hit the bargain shelves, so I've been considering a second edition, but I've been busy with other things. Really, I think no-starch press deserves a lot of credit; there is zero chance that Chris and I would have finished such a large undertaking without their prodding, and they gave us a really excellent technical editor. [1] Actually, I think I said "My English skills are presidential." At the time, George W Bush was our leader.
