#2I have a pretty comprehensive list of chapters, but I'm still adding content to the book, so if you guys have any ideas or suggestions for topics you'd like to see covered, feel free to email me or post them here. Thanks so much!

#3Sounds interesting, especially since your stack matches mine pretty well, so count me in. However, it should be pointed out there is nothing there at your site to see yet (apart from the discount and announcement thing).

#4What is the expected price point of the book? Since you're in the middle of writing, do you have any opportunities for "beta" testers who can provide feedback in exchange for complementary copies?

#5Very exciting! I hope this will be released on amazon or have affordable shipping to Germany.

I'd be interested in your opinion about premature optimizations and how your experiences with bottlenecks matched up compared to your initial expectations. I often find myself overthinking performance and scalability issues that turn out to be not relevant in the end...

#8Good to know other people want to share about successful scaling with PHP.
On the downside, I have a book cooking on the same exact subject, with release planned September (self-publish, about 80% done), but now not sure if it's worth continuing. [edit]Slight moment of "panic", as seeing someone else releasing a book on the same subject made me sad, but you're right, no reason not to continue.

Just because one person releases a book doesn't mean you don't have something valuable to share as well. I say go for it. There's bound to be a lot of stuff in your book this one misses, and probably vice versa. People who are facing large-scale situations generally want all the information they can get their hands on.

#10Sounds very interesting, will be keeping a close eye on this.
On a side note: What is the icon for "Happy Users" supposed to be? It looks like Facebook's like icon but without a thumb.
