I'm hoping to get lots of people interested in helping out. I think this could be a lot of fun and a great way to show how fun programming could be. I enjoy teaching my daughter how to write little games, and I imagine others do too. I miss these old books and I think we should bring them back.
- ErrantX 17y agoGreat idea; I can contribute some Python if that's any use. What's your plan r.e. organizing chapters? By language or by example?
- bphogan 17y agoI was planning to work up a structure once I saw what we ended up with. I'll take whatever we can get for languages. If we end up with a bunch of ruby and a bunch of python, maybe we see if we can get one example of each. Or maybe we just split the book into parts.
- eru 17y agoI might add some Haskell.
- bphogan 17y agoI think that'd be neat. And even neater if you could explain why you chose Haskell for your example over other languages. One advantage of us doing this as a multilanguage book is we get to show how different languages solve different problems. One disadvantage of that is it's a lot to absorb.
