Im on the second page of this book and it is presented in a way that makes me want to use awk right now. I really like how this is written, it does a great job of presenting a base idea and building on it. @thewhitetulip did you plan out all of the example topics before writing each page in the manuscript?
- thewhitetulip 7y agoThank you very much! My idea was to get the reader started as quickly as possible. I wrote a book which I hoped existed when I was learning awk. I mostly learnt awk from the gawk manual and internet. So I wrote down a long list of awk commands while I learnt. Then I sorted them according to concept and then wrote the text surrounding it
