A major milestone but there is more to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first draft of the complete training course has taken 17 months. It has been a lot of work but I have learned a great deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been working on the other volumes in parallel so Volume 1 is heading into production, now. In today&#8217;s publishing industry, that means the revised chapters are being converted to a final typeset form in PDF documents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the chapters for Volumes 2 and 3 have already been reviewed for technical accuracy but much remains to be done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original target for publication was to be next year. We are working as hard as we can to publish all three volumes before the end of this year. I will keep you informed of the actual publication dates as they occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for your interest in my books.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have finished work on the fist draft of Volume 3 of my forthcoming Linux self-study training course,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2381,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[57,73],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books","category-using-and-administering-linux"],"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.both.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.both.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.both.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.both.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.both.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1251"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.both.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1251\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1254,"href":"https:\/\/www.both.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1251\/revisions\/1254"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.both.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.both.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.both.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.both.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
