Technical Blogging Book

Technical Blogging published by The Pragmatic Bookshelf is the first book to specifically teach programmers, technical people, and technically oriented entrepreneurs how to become successful bloggers. With this book you’ll learn all the techniques you need to attract and keep a large audience of loyal, regular readers and leverage this popularity to achieve your goals.

I’ll teach you how to:

• Plan and build a successful technical blog
• Share your technical know-how with the wide audience that you will quickly attract
• Write content and headlines that get read and shared, increasing your influence in your field
• Use your blog to advance your career and raise your profile in the technical community of your choice
• Earn extra income each month (I make thousands of dollars a month from my blogs, as discussed in the book)
• Become a better self-promoter without having to sell your soul
• Leverage your blog and social media properties to promote your own startup/business

Chapters

But don’t take my word for it

I’m in absolute awe at this amazing book, going above and beyond the best advice I’ve ever heard on the subject. I wish I had read this two years ago, as I had to learn this the hard way. This book has got me inspired to get back to writing more.

— Derek Sivers founder, CD Baby and popular blogger

Antonio covers everything from the philosophy of what makes good blog content to the nitty-gritty of what software plugins to use and the best time of day to publish articles. Every few pages, I added another item to my to-do list to improve my blog.

— Andy Lester author, Land The Tech Job You Love

Practical, to the point, and overflowing with handy advice and knowledge about blogging for technical folks, whether to make money, build a career, or just for fun.

Straightforward, informative and practical, Technical Blogging does a great job of making sense of many of the key aspects of blogging in a fun, easy-to-digest manner. I highly recommend it!

Antonio’s book concisely summarizes the lessons I wish I knew when starting out. If you value your time, read this book.

— Kalid Azad Software Developer and Founder, BetterExplained

I felt as if Antonio was my own private consultant helping me every step of the way, updating and crafting my blogs for maximum value. I will be reading and re-reading this book every few months to make sure I haven’t missed anything. If you blog, read this book. If you’re considering blogging, read this book. Do not let a day go by without reading this book.

— Johanna Rothman author, Manage Your Project Portfolio

I’ve been blogging for about 6 years now and have read much on the internet as well as one book about the subject. I really thought I knew just about everything I needed to know until I read Antonio’s book! The guidance he provides in this book go well beyond the standard guidance. I truly appreciate the years of experience that Antonio brings to this book and can see how using his advice will substantially increase the quality and interest in any blog by any blogger, regardless of experience.

— Susan Visser Avid blogger and Publishing Program Manager, IBM

Excellent book. Too bad competition from high quality blogs will substantially increase as soon as this book hits the stores.

— Ludovico Magnocavallo Co-founder, the leading nanopublishing network Blogo.it

I went to Amazon, but this little gem hasn’t made it there yet… I’m very happy with this and need to know where to give my 5 stars rating!
