I have written about my obsession with ARM processors and why I have wanted one in a daily driver laptop many times before on this website. It has been something that I have wanted in a laptop for a long time, but unfortunately the hardware and software options were never quite there yet. I have tried many ARM devices over the last 10 years which promised that they could be a daily driver device, or at least something close to that.

I wanted to go into the details on why I wrote this book and focus on what I learned while writing it. I will also go into the details on the process of writing the book and what tools I used. Writing a book was definitely much harder than I ever thought it would be, but I wanted to document the process as best as I could should other people be interested in doing the same. As difficult as it was, I would certainly do it again now that I know what to expect.
