I'm not even past the introduction and the author has used the terms: NodeJS, NodeJs, and nodejs. This bothers me greatly.
Edit: he also uses the term 'node', has asp.net and ASP.NET. Stuff like this always reflects badly on the author. Makes me think he has poor attention to detail.
- rm2kdev 13y agoThank you for pointing that out, I did spend quite a while writing this article (more than a few days :P) As i stated in another reply i am a novice writer and still looking and learning to improve, I've gone back through and fixed up those NodeJS occurrences. Do you have any good places that i could find more about improving my writing as that would help greatly in the future! Thanks for reading though i still hope that the core point of my article was useful and not in vein.
- didsomeonesay 13y agoCheck "The Elements of Style" by William Strunk Jr. It is a classic book on writing style. It's short, inexpensive and very instructive. Disclaimer: English is not my native language.
- rm2kdev 13y agoThanks! ill take a look :)
- imdsm 13y agoNot sure if you'll ever see this, but it's good that you want to improve, and for this your are entirely forgiven. The only tips I can really give you are to be consistent, and try and be grammatically correct. I don't care if you use e-mail or email, as long as you stick with the same term. I do care if you use lowercase "i"s when you should be using capital "I"s though. That being said, everyone can improve, so just keep learning and writing. I have just bought the above book too. Everyone has space to learn. Good job on taking my criticism positively as well, even if I did sound a bit irked.
- imdsm 13y agoOrdered the book. Thanks!
