- Continuous Integration and (the U.S. distribution of) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows were printed by the same printing company: RR Donnelley in Crawfordsville, Indiana. So far, it seems, Deathly Hallows has sold more copies :-)
- I wrote much of Continuous Integration in either a Starbucks or Panera
- I took off about five weeks from work (at various times) to write the book - along with numerous weekends and late nights
- I decided to write Continuous Integration while on a train from Rome to Florence, Italy in June 2004. Addison-Wesley accepted my proposal in late 2004
- I write an article series for IBM developerWorks called Automation for the people which explores techniques in automating developer activities. Continuous Integration refers to some of the articles I wrote in this series
- Andy Glover and I work at Stelligent. Stelligent provides, among other services, Continuous Integration Implementation and Training
