    I am a fan of The Dresden Files. If you’re not familiar, it’s a series of 18 books written by Jim Butcher. The first book was published 26 years ago. In the books, you dive into the world of Harry Dresden, a private investigator in Chicago. Add in a bit of a noir atmosphere, good humor, and a bit of a buddy cop feel at times thanks to Harry’s consulting work with Karrin Murphy, police officer at Chicago PD. You get the idea. Oh, and I forgot a tiny detail: Harry is a wizard! In this world, vampires, werewolves, and fairies are real. Harry Dresden is listed in the Chicago phone book:HARRY DRESDEN — WIZARDLost Items Found. Paranormal Investigations.Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates.No Love Potions, Endless Purses, Parties or Other EntertainmentI personally discovered the series 3 years ago via the audiobooks. I listened to the 4 first books and was hooked. It helped that the audiobooks were narrated by James Marsters (yes, Spike from Buffy!). He is a great narrator and his voice work was a perfect match for the series.Fast forward to today, Twelve Months, the 18th book in the series just landed on my Kindle. You can order yours from the author’s store here.Time to get back into the story! It’s been a while since the last book though, so I put together a refresher (thank you Claude) that I sent to my Kindle. I’ll read it, as well as the last few chapters of the last book, to get ready before to start the new book.If you could use a refresher too, feel free to download the PDF below.The Dresden Files: Series Summary (Books 1-17) — A comprehensive recap to prepare you for Book 18Download

    Teiva Harsanyi shared his experience with writing a Go book for a tech publisher, Manning.When we evaluate something, a coding project, a book, or an illustration, we often forget how much time, energy, and emotion someone may have poured into it. We have no idea what that work cost them.https://read.thecoder.cafe/p/100-go-mistakes#golang #writing #TechnicalWriting #books
