Learning Ext JS Released, and Getting Press

It's been a busy week, with a flood of feedback coming in on the newly released Learning Ext JS. In fact, I've been so busy that I forgot to tell my own readers that it was released! Peter, Steve, and J.J. all put up posts about the book coming out, for which I am grateful. Then Aaron followed after the release, with a post on the Press Release that my employer put out about my involvement with the book. Shea and Colin both have put up entries on the book, including a breakdown of the chapters. Then Shea announced it within the Ext JS Forums, which really brought some positive response, and led to the first review on Amazon.But for me, the biggest thing about this rollercoaster was when my copies of the book came in on Friday. I was at work, but my wife calls, and she and my daughter are in tears after reading the book's dedication. When I came home that night, Teresa put the book in my hands and said "You did it!" It's an odd moment, standing there with this book in my hands, just staring at this cover with my name on the bottom. One of the coolest things. I IM'd about it with Ray on Saturday morning, who I had asked authoring advice of before taking on the project, and he said "The hard copy makes it real." So, now I'm on to finishing off a huge side project. I'm "eating my own dogfood", so to speak, as it's a rather large application with a single page Ext interface, communicating with ColdFusion via Ajax. I hope everyone enjoys the book as much as Shea, Colin, and myself enjoyed writing it. Let us know what you think.
