Just wondering if there is any news about the book being printed and shipped? It would be nice to get a bit more information on this without having to search it out.

Sorry for the delay. I'm meeting with the authors this week and will try and ascertain when this will be ready to go. I'll try and do another PrePrint update very soon, because progress has been made, and I will send out an email then to let people know the status.

Sorry again for the delay. I sent an email to the authors about a revised PrePrint. I'll post here once I get a date for it.

I just released a new PrePrint of the book. Emails are going out now with links to redownload. The new pub date is April 30. Very sorry for the delays.

I see that the current release date is listed as June 30th. Is this still reasonable to expect? I'd love to think I'll actually have the book in hand as early as next month, but it's hard to tell if anything new has happened on this front.

No, but something new has happened on this front. I just hired an editor whose sole initial focus will be to get this out the door. She's going to give me a schedule. Once I get that I'll update the pubdate.

Hello,

I am also interested to know if the current September release date is going to be met.

It seems that Scala actor model in the near future is going to be Akka based, so I am worried to receive a book which is going to be out of date pretty soon.

Hopefully not... ^_^

Cheers,
Luca

Hi Luca,

We are currently on target for end of September, and are adding a chapter on Akka.

Is that Scala Actors are going to based on Akka in the future?
If that is true, then we can wait a little longer to have the book written based on Akka than having a book which will get outdated soon.

Time once again for the semi-regular "any update" post. I've received no email or anything about this and I notice the forums haven't seen any activity in a while, either. Is this book still going to get published?

Hi Thomas,

The current status is that we have everything in but one chapter, and everything but that chapter has been first-pass edited. It is plenty to do at least an update to the eBook, which I'll do this week. I'm sorry I can't give a print date because it depends on when the author will complete the chapter and other requested edits, but at least you'll have it in eBook form shortly. Very sorry again for the long, long delay, and I appreciate everyone's patience.

Bill
