Congrats, man! Writing a book is like hitting yourself in the kneecap with a hammer. It feels so good when you're done. :-D

Okay Marc, I'd like a bit of context, if you don't mind. How did you wander into this subject matter such that a book popped out?

I remember that game! But no, that's not me. I was a lot younger then! ;)

I've been interested in the tech behind things like cryptocurrency (blockchain, proof of work, Merkle trees, etc.) and P2P was one of the puzzle pieces. Also, supposedly "distributed data" is one of the emerging newfangled waves and I wanted to learn more about how that all works, pros and cons, etc. I poked around looking at various P2P implementations and the Kademlia Protocol kept popping up as the defacto standard for distributing data across a P2P network. I thought, cool, how hard can this be. Riiight. What I found was the typical morass of contradictory protocols (there was an earlier version of Kademlia that seems to have been removed from the web at this point but that a variety of people appear to have implemented), contradictory/confusing statements within the protocol definition itself, and a LOT of really bad (buggy or just plain unfinished) open source implementations. The standard implementation in the *nix world appears to be libp2p with various language ports (who knows how well implemented) but none in C#. Ah ha! Opportunity! So what I thought would be a simple and short article for CodeProject turned out to be a large investigation to resolve all the conflicts and confusion and understanding the "why" behind various seemingly simple sounding algorithms became a 100 page tome (first cut), so I decided to see if SyncFusion would be interested in it. And they were!
