The final manuscript is expected to be completed by the end of December. This book is not going to be competitor to Friedl's MRE2, but rather a good starting point. MRE
is mastery, and I wouldn't suggest reading it cold-turkey, regex-experience-wise. Also, it talks a lot about how regex engines work, which might not be a matter of interest to beginners in the Magick Arts.
The Pod-turned-HTML version of the book that I'm working on will remain online (and I will continue to update it) until it is requested by Manning that public display of the content be stopped. ;)
That is all for now. I'll keep a log of publishing happenings and such at my home node (I think).
