I don't know if the INW site has a library of work written by members,
but a reasonably up to date list of what I've been up to is here in the
sidebar, and hopefully there will be a second edition of the "CSS:
Separating Content and Presentation" book forthcoming in January from
apress:

It'd be interesting to see the accumulated list of INW-authored stuff;
I think Burnett's list alone would probably require its own page :)

While David sees opportunities for SQL discussions, I see opportunities
to ask about writing. :-)

Specifically, I'm curious about how people get into writing technical
books? I assume you probably didn't start off writing a book as your
first project, but even so, how did you get into it? Did you start
out writing short articles? Giving seminars at local tech groups?
Teaching? etc... If you have a good idea for a book (or even something
written already), how do you go about finding a publisher? (or is it
better to publish it yourself?) What else needs to be asked? Thanks.

Cheers,
Tanner

2. The past always tries to control the creativity that builds upon it.
3. Free societies enable the future by limiting this power of the past.
