Nature of Code book
Jun 2nd, 2009, 1:53pm  
Hello all, I'm experimenting with putting up drafts of chapters from my (hopefully) new book if people are interested.  A bit more about this here:

Only one chapter as of now, but hopefully more will follow!

Thanks for sharing Dan!!
I'm very curious how this experiment works as well. I suspect that the Processing books currently are bought by folks who prefer a self-publishing model anyway. Also, since you are already a cult figure with an international following, there will be no issue in regard to getting the word out, and college book stores purchase whatever profs ask for, so I don't think that will be an issue either.

The only problem I see is that your libertarian gesture will now paint my current publishing enterprise as an act of corporate conspiratorial greed (not to mention the whole Adobe angle) Huh
