Finnish books now selling at Avain, English books available for preorder

The big Christmas campaign of Finnish Dragons Out books for Christmas, and topping up the school donation numbers, was a great success. I continued the campaign also in January just a bit with the remains of my preorder stock. Now all of that is exhausted, and I have just some copies for later use left. Thanks to all the 21 donating companies and associations. Thanks all who purchased from me so that I could also donate personally to schools (one donated book per three sold books). Thanks to the 59 schools who were enthusiastic to receive donations!

For further purchases of the Finnish Dragons Out book, I would invite you to use my publisher's webshop here. 

If you still want to donate, you can always buy a few books and take them to a local school. I'd appreciate learning the names of the schools from you so that I can add them to the list of donation recipients that I'm gathering for the Ministry of Education. The Minister is a very busy person but his personal secretary has promised to find me a slot to meet him and hand out a Diploma of Donations.

For preorders of the English Dragons Out book, you can still preorder as usual, here.

Concerning the English version, the finalization stages of the proof-reading are now taking place. I was just in contact with my publisher Austin Macauley last week and they are taking further steps in the production process. It shouldn't take much longer : ).

Time for the next book extract for your enjoyment. This one is a little bit about publishing a report, along the lines of me publishing a book. A hidden story in the story!

Cho praised the young. They had learned new things about dragons. He really should write a letter about this to other villages and castles. In addition to himself, Cho would mention Laura and Tom as authors. Small dragons did not return during the summer, so everyone agreed that the theory of the youngsters was correct. Everyone was happy. The youngsters rejoiced most of all, as they were responsible for improving the safety of the village. They were becoming brilliant dragon experts!

In the story, Cho decides to write a letter with Laura and Tom. In the world of information technology, it is customary to involve software users in research. The quality and credibility of scientific articles or reports based on the research improve when the researchers include user experiences and insights in their theories.

Article in Dimensio-magazine

I recently had a chance to write in the magazine of math teachers. Mathematics is one of the natural stepping stones towards software development and software testing. The association of math teachers (MAOL) has been interested in cooperation with me. They considered software testing to be an interesting angle for anyone interested in mathematics. I wrote about my book writing project and how software testing can be taught to children via a fantasy book. The article is in Finnish here: https://www.dimensiolehti.fi/opetetaan-lapsille-ohjelmistotestausta-fantasiakirjan-avulla/

Amazing feedback and school visits

Image
 I recently got some  amazing feedback  from a 9-year-old reader through his dad. The Dragons Out book was an exciting Christmas present that the boy started reading on his own. He did the exercises at the end of the chapters and was really thrilled about them ("I did all of those great exercises!"). Upon asking why the book was so thrilling, he answered, "It was a great book because it had true things and fantasy side by side, and the exercises were fun!". It feels so good to hear such feedback - keep it coming! The unique approach of fantasy coupled with testing works. Remember my school visits, earlier? It is  again time to have school visits in Finland , too. It is especially nice now that face-to-face meetings are possible, and I don't need to access the school class virtually over a Teams meeting. That works too, yes, with a teacher facilitating in the class, but it is so much nicer and more concrete to meet and teach children face-to-face. I asked for som

How it all started

I got my first idea for a book that would combine fantasy and software testing years ago. I wanted to find a way to make software testing interesting to kids. People in the software testing industry understand very well that there is always a shortage of software testing. It usually stems from not knowing enough about the importance of testing. Testing is easily considered a necessary evil. However, it is enormous fun and a profession of its own. Why not tell about the fun of software testing already to children in an engaging way? Dragons and knights found their way into my book. Finally, my sabbatical year gave me a chance to put some words together to make the story. I wrote the first draft of the first chapter in Finnish in late 2018 and sped up with the other chapters during the rest of my sabbatical in 2019.  There are many more steps to take, including deciding about the extent of illustration, negotiating with book publishers, and editing the book. But we'll get there soo
