Memorial Day usually marks the start of my 4+ week hibernation period. For the next few weeks I will be writing and editing the 2009 (11.0) version of the ACT! QuickStudy Guide. Since there is only a narrow window of time between when a software is ready for testing and when it is ready for shipping, I have to work fast. I usually spend about 12-16 hrs a day editing and updating the almost 600 page manual on all things ACT!. I’m looking forward to writing about the new features (with corresponding screen shots). I’d like to also throw in a few really advanced topics (like OLE/DB connections for reporting).
