What began as an author's rogue idea to publish "Running Mac OS X Panther" fast is rapidly becoming accepted practice at O'Reilly & Associates. The company is now evaluating the Adobe Creative Suite with its built-in version control capabilities as a means of streamlining its other book projects. "The author finished writing the final chapter of this book just after Thanksgiving, and it went to press nine days later—a remarkable achievement," says Toporek. "The book sold extremely well, and we met our window of market opportunity."
From finished manuscript to press in 9 days.
