I spent several years working in research support roles at uni, and used code to automate the very boring parts of my job. Then thanks to open source activity I got into as part of that, I wrote a book. This was a bit under 10 years ago, I'm not sure there's the market in book writing these days.
- xcubic 9y agoWhat book did you write?
- singingfish 9y agoa perl book. (and yes, modern perl[1] is still a good, viable candidate for up-to-date-best-practices development. the only downside is it takes a certain amount of discipline to get it right. The other possible downside is that perl is currently not trendy, on the other hand it's proven to be a very good performer in the long game).
