My Biggest Fan
I recently received copies of the third book I co-authored for Apress, Beginning Groovy and Grails. Since then my four year old son has been carrying around copies of all my book saying things like "I love your books, the ones that you wrote" and "I love the books your pictures are on". But that did not prepare me for coming home today and finding my son had taken all the Apress books off my shelves, which are quite a fews, in an effort to find my picture on the back of them.

Does that mean it's shipping?! Congratulations. I can't wait to get my copy!
Technically I don't think it ships until Monday June 23 but Amazon is out and the electronic version is still not available. My coauthors have already made announcements but I am going to wait until the electronic version is ready to make my formal announcement.
Ha! You think it's cute when your 4 year old is wandering around with your Grails book, but wait til you find out he's a committer and is backing out all your contributions.

LOL. I sincerely hope my son becomes an engineer.
