Well the last few weeks of book writing have went a little better than I expected. Chapters 4 (Look and Feel) and 5 (Threading) are moving into various stages of editing this week. Using my Word page counts (Chapter 2 was 53 in Word and ended up 55 in PDF) as a rough indicator we will have:
Chapter
Page Count
Chapter 1 - Introduction
5-10
Chapter 2 - Layout Managers
55
Chapter 3 - GUI Builders
30
Chapter 4 - Look And Feel
50
Chapter 5 - Threading
30+
Total:
170+
This should be enough for an initial ERP release sometime in late February. While this is happening I'll be working on the next 5 chapters and the RSS Reader.
