Nice work, a great gift to us all. I originally started "Designing
Sound" as a website full of easily clickable and runnable Pd
patches. In some ways publication with MIT forced me to shoehorn a
much richer experience into a standard textbook format. To that extent
I remain disappointed with how "web" technologies turned out for
education. In the end I had to take down the site in the face of
leaching parasites that linked to the material in such a way as to
saddle me with the bandwidth burden while freeloading as "meta
educational" sites. 15 years later I am resolved to make my next text,
after "Ethics for Hackers", be a more permanent free resource taking
account of lessons learned.
- kragen 4y agoThat's a real shame. Ideally we'd bundle together a bunch of things like this into a torrent so that the people using them paid the bandwidth costs, but 70% of people are using hand computers that have been deliberately crippled to make this impossible.
