Hi, I got asked to review this too as I submitted a few bugs in the book. Their review guidelines are long and I don't have enough time to write such an in depth review. I'll watch your blog though! I hope the index is better this time as Packt always let me down that way. Gavin. On 05/02/2010, Kristian Kielhofner <kristian.kielhofner@gmail.com> wrote:

Kristian,
I enjoyed your recent blog praising FreeSWITCH.
Thanks.
The world needs an O'Reilly book about FreeSWITCH. Perhaps you could write one in your spare time?
O'Reilly authors have a joke: "The only people that get rich writing books are Stephen King and J.K. Rowling". I'm not picking on O'Reilly; it doesn't matter who the publisher is. Writing a tech book takes an immense amount of time and compared to consulting and other ways to spend your limited time it (often) doesn't pay well enough.
Certainly some people are in different situation. In the next couple of days I'll be reviewing Packt Publishing's new OpenSIPS book written by Flavio Goncalves. Flavio has an OpenSIPS training business so writing a book is perfect for him. You get to train with the guy who literally wrote the book!
Whoever gets there first and does it well is likely to own that shelf space for a long time to come.
There are some people working on a FreeSWITCH book and it makes sense for them too. I'm sure they'll do a great job.
