Accelerate DevOps – What I’ve learned writing a book about GitHub
When I was asked to write a book about GitHub, I first came up with an outline that had an introduction to DevOps with nearly 200 pages and then covered all GitHub Features in a logical order. “Nobody wants to read a 200-page introduction” was the the response from my editor that made me completely rethink what I wanted to write about and how I should structure it.
