I published my book, Practical Guide to PKI with Windows Server on September 22, 2021 and it has now been over a full year since I made it generally available for purchase. I wanted to reflect on what I have learned since releasing the book, what issues I have encountered, and what the next steps are.

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.

Now available for sale, the book version of the Building a Certificate Authority in Windows Server 2019 guide that I published in early 2020. The guide has been greatly expanded and includes many additional details and steps that were not included in the original guide.
