Time for another update on what’s happening at Tekpub – and there’s a lot of good stuff. This coming month we’re working with more authors then we ever have – and I think you’ll like the lineup.
Happy Holidays to You and Yours

It’s been a very fun year – hoping you’re relaxing with friends and family … or having some well-deserved quiet time to yourself…
Holiday In Tekpubland
Every year James and I try to do something fun at Tekpub for our users. This is year’s no different.
A Little Bit of My Soul Went Into This One

One of my favorite movies of all time is Pulp Fiction.
