Awesome!! His first book 'Learning Processing' is what got me back into coding after a 5 year hiatus. Processing is a really fun language for experimenting and this should be a good book.
Yes, he's great. His choice of publishing model is also interesting (free online and pay for print). Reminds me of the Radiohead - In rainbows album, and I'm excited to see where it goes.
This is excellent news, thank you. I've heard many good things about this book (mostly on HN!) and on first glance it looks very interesting indeed.
Edit: since this is the launch it must have the tutorials that turned into the book which I heard good things about - having read a few of them, I'm looking forward to the book version.
Wow, great news! I was following his Kickstarter progress for some time, and was waiting for printed book, but online and free, this is great!!! Can't wait to check to out...
Even though I own a Kindle I really like to browse and read through print copies of technical books. Not quite able to pin what exactly I like about it.
I find that most E-readers are mainly sequential access, with random access as a feature to be explicitly called. Whereas physical books or codexes are usually read sequentially, but are easier to use for random access.
