Hi all.
This is a book that was in contract to be published but the publisher pulled out, so we are going to try to self publish it (never done this before, we'll see how it goes.)
It is in somewhat rough shape because we are redoing the book with a more conceptual bend than the publisher wanted: there are some repetitive sections due to re-arranging, typos and areas that need to be expanded, but the rough outline is about what we want and much of the content is pretty solid.
The book looks at hypermedia conceptually, then htmx for hypermedia-driven web applications, then HyperView for hypermedia-driven mobile applications.
We the authors all agreed to keep the online version available for free forever.
Hope people find it useful and interesting.
- ksec 4y ago>but the publisher pulled out Can you share why? Did they think the topic was niche?
- sbelskie 4y agoLooks like it. From htmx’s twitter: > the book was initially in contract w/ a tech publisher, but was dropped because they didn't feel there was a big enough market
- recursivedoubts 4y agoyep: not enough of a market, which is probably true at this point we were straining to make the book fit into what the publisher wanted, so this gives us a good opportunity to write the book that we want
- czx4f4bd 4y agoNot sure if there's a better way to contact you, but it looks like all the "Next part"/"Previous part" links on the part pages are broken. e.g. https://hypermedia.systems/book/part/hypermedia-concepts/ https://hypermedia.systems/book/part/hypermedia-concepts/ links to https://hypermedia.systems/book/part/2 https://hypermedia.systems/book/part/2, which 404s. It should actually link to https://hypermedia.systems/book/part/htmx/ https://hypermedia.systems/book/part/htmx/.
- recursivedoubts 4y agothank you, we are writing a custom transform of the asciidoc source to a website so there are some broken aspects
