bumbling into authorship
i’m strongly considering making an attempt to write two books (conveniently designed so i can do any part of any of them in any order):
- a beginner’s guide to programming that starts from absolutely nothing and alternates frequently between theory/practice, multiple languages, multiple platforms, etc. so you would have to context switch a bit early on, but ultimately you would be able to make actual things instead of just text-only programs that convert from feet to meters. (this will probably span endless volumes and be an eternal work in progress)
- a math book collab with lati in which each chapter tries to explain, in an actually accessible way, some topic that we feel western education treats extremely poorly. probably limited to calc 2 + linalg and below. ex: logarithms, trig functions, complex numbers
would you be interested in reading these
would you be interested in beta-reading these as i write them (because i have a hard time sticking with a project that i can’t use myself in a vacuum)
and most importantly, would you be interested in giving me dollars for a hard copy of these
