I am currently working on writing a series of blog posts about web development. They may one day become a book.

I wrote my book from 5:00 AM to 7:00 AM while my kids were still sleeping, and while riding the train to work. I would often listen to Miracle Mile by Cold War Kids to help me feel motivated to write.

My most recent book, Learning to Program, happens to be the only book I have written. The idea for the book came from my experience trying to teach myself to program over the past 7 years. I started programming much later in life than many of my colleagues, and I struggled with almost every concept. Programming was like nothing I had ever done before, and I didn't know where to turn for help. All of the books and blogs I was reading assumed that I already knew a lot about programming and computers. When reading other books and blogs, I didn't know what was crucially important and what was insignificant.
I wanted a book that would teach me what to learn first, what to learn next, and how to think like a programmer. I never found that book, and so I wrote it.
