Scott's book on the Firefox web browser, written for O'Reilly Media and titled Don't Click on the Blue E!: Switching to Firefox, was published in April 2005. He is presently at work on Hacking Knoppix for John Wiley & Sons, about the Knoppix Live CD Linux operating system. In addition, he is a monthly columnist for SecurityFocus, with op/ed pieces that focus on general topics of security, and for Linux Magazine, in a column focusing on new and interesting Linux software, and he blogs professionally on The Open Source Weblog.

As an educator, Scott has taught thousands of people of all ages - from pre-teens to senior citizens - on a wide variety of topics, including literature, education, and technology. As his focus has shifted in recent years to Linux and other open source technologies, he has worked to bring knowledge of these powerful new directions in software to people at all levels of technical skill. He is currently an Adjunct Professor at Washington University in St. Louis and at Webster University, where he teaches a variety of courses about technology and the Internet.

As a consultant for Bryan Consulting, Scott works with small- and medium-sized businesses and non-profits to take full advantage of the Internet's remarkable communication, sales, and service opportunities. In particular, as the lead architect of the Bryan Consulting Content Management System (CMS), he envisions, designs, and helps develop new extensions for the CMS that benefit all of the company's clients.
