I have some exciting news to share!

Over the last couple of months I have been in negotiations with Wiley and Sons Publishing on a book proposal and we have finally settled on the final version of the table of contents. The contracts have been signed, and were moving forward. The name of the book will be “Cocoa and Cocoa Touch Programming” and it will naturally be about exactly that topic! It will be a part of their Apple Developer series of books, and should be going to print sometime this fall.

I’m really excited to be working on this project. For many years I thought it would be exciting to write a book and when this opportunity presented itself I immediately jumped at it.

Writing books is not particularly lucrative, so this doesn’t in any way supersede any of the fantastic work we’re doing here on iPhone and Mac OS X apps. This is simply an additional project that we’re taking on.

Over the long term, this means that in addition to the blog postings about Random Ideas applications and products, I will probably write occasionally in this blog about some of my experiences in writing this book so keep an eye out for that.

Here’s to more cool stuff in 2009!

Edit: Big shout out to Scott Anguish who referred Wiley to me. A decision I’m sure he’ll regret eventually. ;) Many thanks Scott!
