Hi Michael, Really good to hear that you have previous experience with authoring a book. I think to some extent it'll be up to the wxperl community if they think writing a "Learning WxPerl" book is worth the effort. Personally I feel its a good idea and a good way to promote wxperl.
Perhaps once the team of admins for "wxperl.it" has been decided, we could look at planning the design of the book with a view of utilising existing published material as much as possible. Kind Regards. ________________________________________ Ron Grunwald ron...@yahoo.com.au http://www.dvlcorner.org On 4/01/16 7:33 PM, "Michael Roberts" <mich...@vivtek.com> wrote: > And I also offered, last week.
