Nice! This is great that you were motivated enough to do this!
It's a very early version. I didn't make any announcement yet, but
I'll
try to find the time this year to continue the content. If other
developers want to write some chapters, I would welcome any
contribution.
Maybe we could use this as the basis of the start of our documentation?
I assume that it has the right license for this collaboration?
I know the introduction is not great, I should maybe move the
discussion
about the C language to an appendix. But what is more important is the
chapters. Usually the introduction is written when the content is
finished, to know what to introduce.
Right, makes sense. It seems that Michael Hill is interested in
helping. We could work out book sprints and get things going. I'd
like to get more volunteers to get some momentum going. Anybody else
who might be interested? I'd volunteer, but I think I'm going to be
busy in the next couple of months as I have to ramp up in a new
position. I can try though.
The code examples are in C, but if you think JavaScript is important
for
GNOME, then write another book ;-) Anyway the goal of the book I'm
writing is also to explain how to write libraries, and the C language
is
the recommended language for libraries (if you use GLib/GObject).
I think C is fine, but we should look at javascript and python as well.
Thanks for starting this!
