I Become an Author Again (on PHP)
In years past, I have been an author for Dr. Dobb's Journal, Communications of the ACM, John Wiley and Sons (a book). After I sold my first company, NTERGAID, I basically had a "Management must review all publications prior" clause in my contract. It just wasn't worth the effort. Then I changed jobs but got really, really busy. And, now, I'm an author again. I contributed an article on "Localization for PHP" to www.phpbeginner.com. The article is here at their site or mirrored here on my site. I have to say, Maxim, the site's editor, was just plain wonderful to work with. I pop onto his radar from literally nowhere, ask if he needs any content for his site, drop him my home page and resume and, poof, I'm an author. It was just plain easy. This is how the publishing process is supposed to be. Only one edit too -- a conflict on the title. Well, the process was just so painless, I just plain don't care.
Note -- I know that I publish everyday here and on my own website. This is different -- when an editor officially blesses your work, there is a real "warm fuzzy" feeling.
