Off the top of your head, do you know how much difference there is between the 2019 and 2021 version?
I'm asking all this because I thought it would be a good idea to have an analog copy handy for those times when I'm in need of reading material to keep me occupied during... um... those moments when I'm trapped in a small room with nothing to do but stare at the towel rack. I thought of printing out bits of the PDF, but wanted to explore the analog option first.
Although I am very happy with the appreciation it gets, of course there are many parts of the book that I want to improve. Some parts even make me cringe. :)
Well, that's just typical of any writer, Ali. :) Any artist, really. I know your pain, sir.
On another note, I've been thinking about rewriting the GtkD Coding blog as a book sometime down the road, so after your remarks, I'm curious as to what the restriction is on how often the raw material can be updated.
