DotNetNuike Skinning Tutorial BookBack in November 2007, I was invited to be a technical reviewer for a book called DotNetNuke Skinning Tutorial by Packt Publishing Company. Having seen limited resources about DotNetNuke skinning, I agreed to be involved in the project instantly. It was an exciting experience since I have never had any experience in working with formal documentations besides DotNetNuke training documentations I wrote with the team at Engage.

I got started with the actual review shortly after a few conversations regarding roles, responsibilities and agreements with the team at Packt. Four months later, we wrapped up the book and got ready for production.

While I was in Baltimore last week doing training for a client, I received an e-mail from Packt Publishing Company asking if I'm interested in reviewing another book for them.

If you're a regular reader of this blog, you know that I did a review for DotNetNuke Skinning Tutorial book last year and it recently published in May. It was fun working with the team at Packt and I got some experience out of it.

This time, it is much more of a developer-oriented book. I don't know if I'm interested yet. But thought I share the news.

Hello Cuong,

I hope you enjoyed working on ‘DotNetNuke Skinning’ book. The book is already published and I am sure you must have received the book copies as well.

We are developing a book on [book title removed].  We would like to know if you would be interested in reviewing this book. Attached is the outline of the book for your reference.

We can discuss this further in detail once I hear from you.

Do let me know.

Thanks & Regards,

Lata
