Well thank you Thomas for the vote of confidence... :-) I have toyed with the idea of writing a book, but the main problem for me is simply that I'd undoubtedly wander off into the topics that I am truly deeply interested in - like racing, photography, religion, science, art, comedy, nature, music, and yes of course design. I'd actually like to write about 6 books. From what I hear, it is an incredibly long and arduous process that breaks people.
I might be able to start recording my thoughts in audio - then try to get a good voice interpreter to transcribe so I have a base to work with. Again, thanks for the encouragement. Its something I will hopefully start doing someday. - Joe On Jun 11, 12:28 pm, TBT <thomasbta...@gmail.com> wrote: > the title would be something along the lines of: > > Practical Website and GUI Design Techniques for Developers > > Think of Dick Wall and his admitted lack of front end design skills. > I think he is typical for most of us.
