In early March, we submitted an application to The MathWorks Book Program in hopes that The MathWorks would lend their support on a book project that we had in mind. On April 3rd, we received an e-mail from the The MathWorks Book Program that accepted our application!

What exactly is The MathWorks Book Program?

The MathWorks Book Program is a collaborative effort between writers and The MathWorks. In this program, The MathWorks provides their support to writers who are planning on writing a book based on MATLAB®, Simulink®, or other MathWorks™ products. The MathWorks facilitates the book-writing process so that writers can focus on developing their book, and less time worrying about adminstrative issues

What is the Book going to be about?

We haven’t quite yet finalized what the book will be about, but there is a good chance that it will focus on creating and developing GUIs. A lot of the feedback we have received from our GUI tutorials have been favorable, and we field a fair amount of questions regarding GUI design. If anyone has any thoughts they would like to share, we’d love to hear them.

When will the Book be finished?

Since this is the first time that we’ve taken on such a project, we have no idea how long the process will take. My initial thought was that it would take 9 months. I have no idea if that is too little time, or if it is too much. Only time will tell. We will certainly provide updates on how the book is progressing!

Hey, I want to Write a Book Too!
