In June 2008 he published the only book on the subject of developing Publishing sites using MOSS 2007: Professional SharePoint 2007 Web Content Management Development by WROX.
Andrew has spoken on the subject of MOSS 2007 development and WCM at various events and national conferences such as TechEd North America & EMEA, SharePoint Connections, VSLive, Office Developer Conference and Microsoft SharePoint Conference in Sydney, Australia.
