A Changing Of The Guard

For those of you who attended AU, you might already know this. But for the rest of you......

I've been writing the Introducing Revit and Mastering Revit books with Greg Demchak and Tatjana Dzambazova for the past three years. Due to circumstances beyond the control of mere mortals, there is a changing of the authoring team in the works. I won't go into the semantics but the authoring team formerly known as Greg, Tanja and Eddy has been disbanded. I wish my old authors luck. They are good people, good friends, and passionate Revit users. The Introducing Revit 2011 series will be carried forward by a new author, yet to be determined.

The Mastering Revit 2011 will have a new look as well. The new team will be the trio of this blog: Phil Read, James Vandezende, and Eddy Krygiel.

When the book was started three years ago, it was primarily structured as an appendage to Introducing as not all of the material could fit into only 400 pages. But in the past 3 years so many people have gained such expert knowledge of Revit, we felt it was time to rework the book from scratch. The new book will be geared towards more advanced content taking the use of Revit to the next level.

As we work diligently to create new and interesting content (and teach Phil to use the Ribbon) we're hoping to post some of the new tome for your feedback and comments. We've even gone as far as discussing sending Beta copies of the book to the Revit development team. Call it Karma if you will.
