Unfortunately, MS Press terminiated its arrangement with O'Reilly Media, and the book I was writing was a casualty of that.

My apologies for those who were waiting for that book. I was disappointed myself that the book got cancelled.

If I decide, at some point in the future, to self-publish a book, I'll let you know.
