Curious... Link to the product you offer? $35 page book for $7?

  http://swizec.com/reactd3js/ http://swizec.com/reactd3js/ It's actually a bit over 60 pages, and the reason people pay is this: "With React+d3.js you'll learn how to build re-usable visualization components in about an hour." And because past buyers say things like this: "I'm starting a new position where I will focus on data visualization using React and d3. I got everything I needed from the book, your examples were straight forward and easy to follow. Thanks!" I've had a lot of people comment, both online and in person, that it was the perfect book for them because it's short and focused.

    Bought! Hope that helps you get back to writing "Why programmers work at night" ;)

      Haha thanks! To be honest, Why programmers work at night has been at a standstill for two reasons: 1) It's trying to be too many things to too many people and I can't decide who to focus on, and 2) It's been shelved for so long that at this point I feel deep fear of being judged when I get back to it. It's hard to get back to something that you know 2000+ people are looking at you for.

        I am just one of the people looking at it, so take these opinions for what you will. Maybe it's better broken up into focus areas? It resonated with me and I was left wanting more - from what you said I'm not the only one. I really hope you do find a way to get back to it. I wonder if it could work in a format other than a book? Look at "This is Not A Consipiracy Theory" for a really interesting way of producing a documentary. I hope that one day I can show a book or something like this to my girlfriend to explain to her why I sometimes can't get to bed before 2 or 3 am...
