Full Stack SaaS Product Cookbook

It happens to every author, right? Every time. "This will be easy!" "This is getting hard..." "Wow, this is going to take way longer than I thought."

Progress is going well enough on the book - I'm at 300 pages and reached the MVP stage of both the frontend and the backend within the product itself (ReduxPlate) and the course. It's just this next stage of building advanced features for the product that may take even longer. I'm going to have a busy June and July if I want to get this done in time! in the end, I just may need to trim out some ReduxPlate specific details and focus on all the SaaS-specific aspects. After all, the most valuable parts of my book will be the recipes - and those are actually by nature easier to include since they are mostly "copy and paste" solutions!

Between code snippets, screenshots, and my as-promised step-by-step descriptions, the book has reached a whopping 300 pages. Thanks to LaTeX, the book should be easily perusable with a keyword index, multiple sections and subsections, and listings of both figures and code snippets across the entire book.

I've managed to format the book with a few macros and fun styles using LaTeX, in a way that both Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing as well as Amazon hardcover printing requirements, were happy. The content of the book itself is also coming along as well, with most of the initial frontend setup steps written. Still, the content itself is only about 1/5 done, so I expect the finished book to be well over 300 pages (at least in the 6" x 9" format that Amazon forces me to use to get expanded distribution!)

After the success of The Wheel Screener and another app using the same exact tech stack as The Wheel Screener, I realized I was on to something and should catalog all the configuration and coding steps that got the app working. I also realized I've never really seen an opinionated, applied, and real world coding book that could show developers step-by-step how to build a real SaaS product.
