Hi Matt, > It's just that we now have a starterguide and also a tutorial book. Do > we need two books? This is discussed before, but anyway: I think we need three books: - the tutorial book (which has numerous, independent chapters that describe in detail both hardware and software of a specific application. - a starterguide, that takes people by the hand and show various aspects of JAL to create an overview, gets them up to speed. - a reference guide, covering all aspects of jal (and the core of jallib if possible) in a complete way and with examples, tips and explanation of the core and related tricks.
> Is there anyway we can put them both together? It is not trivial task to create a proper startersguide. It requires well-chosen subjects that are used to introduce the relevant aspects in a logica sequence. Much work for one man to write, but if you split it, you create an additonal task for an editor. I decided for the first option: do the writing myself (supported by Toon) to see if I can achieve the goal. And since I work on my own, I use the most easy tool for me, which is ms-word. Not easy for colaboration but best for the job at hand. I'll want to finish this job and release a version in PDF (with copyright, since I want to stay in control of this document, at least for now). I don't see why we should merge them with the tutorial guide, but if you disagree, I'll be happy to discuss this with you when the document is out. > Can you post a more recent version please? I'd prefere to finish it first, otherwise it might not get finished at al ;) Joep -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jallib" group.
