The Book of Apoch?

Posted by ApochPiQ, 26 September 2011 · 309 views

I'm going to leave this brief in hopes of garnering some unbiased opinions.

If - purely hypothetically - I were to collect, edit, update, and publish some of the better Bag of Holding entries in book form, would anyone be interested? Maybe as a proper paper-and-binding book, or an e-book, or whatever.

Just an idea. Tell me what you think.

I would be interested. Not sure if I matter though ;) But I wouldnt want you to collect past posts, I would want new content. Plus your topics have varied between your life and your job(s) and Epoch so the subject of the book would be pretty big, though if its suppose to be about your life in general then I guess thats cool. I would be more interested in real world programming (like one of the Game Programming Gems books but suited towards real world programming) and compiler/language design by example/implementation.

Can you do that for me?

Or if you just want to write about your life, thats cool too. Id still read it.

I'd be interested in more info about Epoch certainly, in terms of implementation of the compiler, VM etc.

I don't really know. I haven't been following journals regularly. So I don't really know what's going to be in.
What I can say for sure, I'm not interested in dead-tree books, the shipping is just too costly most of the time.
I suppose 2.99 USD might do.
