About the author
William A. Yarberry Jr.
11 books2 followersHello Readers,
I make my living mostly working IT projects (as an independent consultant) but lately have begun writing books, both to learn and ... well, make a few coins.
One of the thoughts I've had lately is how the market for people who think "I just want to know enough to get by" is underserved. There are tens of thousands of skill sets in modern life. Some we want to master, others merely become a little better than average, and others learn the minimum. Why? It is all about time. Many people can drive a car; few know automotive engineering. Most want to know just enough to get from A to B. Beyond that, they spend their time on their specialty or interests. So, I think the whole concept of "X for Dummies" is wrong. It is not that readers are dumb. It is simply that they cannot spare the time to study a given, low priority topic.
Based on that reasoning, I'm going to write on technical and nontechnical subjects over the next few years, using a consistent theme: (a) cutting words to the bare minimum (b) omitting all the "motivational" speech fluff (c) omitting discussions about rare exceptions. With luck, the net result will be a good "day one" learning experience. By day one, I mean the reader can do something useful on the first day of reading the book. The alternative is to take days or weeks to get started.
One example: software books always have at least 1-2 pages on installation. I'm not talking about complex configuration. I mean just loading the software on your PC. Is there anyone out there who has not loaded consumer software before? Is it time for the word cutting fairy?
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
On another topic: Amazon suggests writers include some interesting anecdotes about themselves on the author page. Here's an amazing lesson I learned: In my early years working for Enron Corp (yes, that Enron) I had an IT auditor working for me; let's call him Ray. Now Ray had a bit of an East Texas accent, came from a so-so school, and seemed like a nice young man who would probably wind up as a manager or director at some medium sized company. Everyone liked him but everyone, including me, completely missed his underlying organizational and people skills. Roll forward ten years. I'm out of job and call Ray for possible leads. Turns out he is a super partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers. He meets regularly with the head dude of world-wide PwC in New York. And he gave me a job. It always pays to treat people well--below, at, and above your current level!
OK. Here's my standard ICCM marketing blurb:
