Small steps with big feet

Building an open source framework sure is a rewarding experience. You see community people logging issues, contributing patches, answering forum posts, joining the community days, etc.

And sometimes there is a crazy enthusiast user who sacrifices *a lot* of his free time to write a jBPM book. Heck, writing a jBPM book has been a long-lived dream for me … but some things always seem to come between that dream and reality (you know, like building a BPMN 2.0 implementation on top of jBPM). But that’s probably just an excuse, I know.

Writing a book takes a lot of time and effort and it’s an adventure that’s not to be taken light-heartedly. So many, many, many kudos to Mauricio Salatino for writing the just released “jBPM Developers Guide”! Just click on the book cover on the left to get more information or to order your own copy.

The people of Packt publishing were so kind to send me a review copy of this book, which I received this morning (see picture below). So expect a review coming up soon (I’m going to give it a thorough reading).
