Principles of Project Management
I’m pleased to announce that one of my own projects has just come to fruition. My new book, The Principles of Project Management has just been published by SitePoint. It’s a short book aimed at folks like myself who have come from a technical background and are increasingly finding themselves in need of project management skills — whether to officially take that role or to help make the hard work they put in as developers or designers actually mean something, by ensuring the project is delivered properly.
The book was expert reviewed by Kevin Lawver and Drew McLellan who both did an admirable job of ensuring that the content stayed applicable to all sorts of projects and teams, both big and small. They also bravely took on the role of managementese-weeding and survived with remarkably few lasting scars 
Drew has written some thoughts on the book on his own blog. I thoroughly enjoyed working with both Drew & Kevin, as well as the team at SitePoint.
If your interest is piqued, then check out The Principles of Project Management book page or download a sample chapter.
In the interests of full disclosure, I would highlight that all the links are affiliate links — i.e. if you buy the book via that link I will both be able to track it and get something back 
Congrats, Meri! It was a lot of fun to review, and I’ve already heartily recommended it to several folks. Heck, I may re-read it again myself (which would make it the third time through).
Congrats on the book, Meri! It will be ordered (via affiliate link of course!) come pay day
Also, I’m going to make you sign my copy in a fanboy kinda way.
Awesome! My wife is the project manager at our interactive agency and she’s excited about the book.
Every other book from SitePoint has been rock solid and I’m sure this one is no different.
