I'm pleased to announce the publication of my tenth book: Zoom *For Dummies*.

Read an excerpt [here](https://www.philsimon.com/blog/communication/excerpt-from-zoom-for-dummies/).

## Thoughts

Interesting backstory on this one. Given how quickly [Zoom exploded](https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/2/21277006/zoom-q1-2021-earnings-coronavirus-pandemic-work-from-home?ref=philsimon.com), my acquisitions editor was keen on bringing *Zoom For Dummies* to market quickly.

I was up for the challenge, but there were other moving parts. Specifically, Zoom was rebuilding its security as I was writing the book. (Shoot me if I ever say or write *re-architecting*. Seriously.) We're not taking about basic UI changes here. To this end, I had to juggle a bunch of balls. #firstworldproblems
