My book "Mastering Modern Payments: Using Stripe with Rails" continues to sell well, in the $2k range per month. It's not exactly passive, though, as I write blog posts and develop other related content in the same theme.

- jbrooksuk 13y agoEver thought about rewriting parts of the book to work with other languages, as a separate product?
- zrail 13y agoYep. Language and payment processor variants are something that I've thought about a lot and will probably start working on at some point. Edit: autocorrect correction
- noir_lord 13y agoPHP would be a natural fit (Symfony2 or Laravel 4 (I'd vote for Laravel 4 as that is a rapidly growing market that is still relatively "poor" in learning material). Also if you did happen to do it for Laravel 4, I'd buy it ;).
- zrail 13y agoWow, I just took a look at the docs for Laravel. I had no idea it was that sophisticated. Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it some more.
- noir_lord 13y agoIt's a truly excellent framework that pulls in the best in breed from the others but then puts a layer over the top that allows you to get things done (in a well engineered and testable manner). The framework creator (Taylor Otwell) has an excellent book on leanpub and there is an amazing video guide site (laracasts.com) which is better than I have seen for anything (check out the free vids for an idea of quality).
