I hate days like today.
Revo has evolved (and is evolving) super fast. The functionality
and features Revo can offer are superior to any other system IMO.
EVO is still evolving with many friends and developers

The open-source community is growing, the company behind modx is alive
and growing = good for everybody’s business!
// And I’m scheduled for a job interview with a company who has their eyes on MODX,
yesterday they didn’t.

The book seems to be a second edition of the first book. It’s definitely an Evo book based on the description, with a horribly confusing 2.0 label. That being said, I’m always a fan of more treeware on MODX.
Bob’s book is mostly done and we should have the contractual bits wrapped up this week to get into final production. it’s going to be gorgeous and super-helpful, and there will be both electronic and print versions available.

Didn’t he decide to self publish? 
Must admit I’m not really up to date on the scoop, but that’s what I seem to recall... I’m sure both of them will kick in this discussion later today 
There is no reason why they should self publish when they can kickstarter it Im quite sure they would get a lot of backers not only from the MODx community but also curious devs that won’t take therisk with MODx because of the lack of documentation besdes rtfm.
I am advocating for MODx on every forum, twitter, facebook and forrst site I frequent so if we all do our part we will raise the capital to get the book done.

Bob Ray and Shawn Wilkerson are both working on a Revolution book. Two big names there so I’m expecting something good :p
I can see that Bob and Shawn have a different interest on MODx.
Since both of them are close to the ’heartbeat’ of the core, I hope they are not writing a same range of the discussion.
btw, an excerpt as a teaser of the pre-released book would be nice to know.

I tried to do it, but the paste from Word looked so bad, I couldn’t stand to leave it here. When I’ve some time, maybe I’ll do some screen shots or a mini pdf file.
I will definitely pay for the Bod’s current version if I know he will send me the final version when ready.
This get’s me an idea:
Can I pay now for a beta PDF version and get the print version by email when ready?
