There were ~200 commits from internal O’Reilly staff & indexers, etc.

@daryoush They wrote the book in DocBook & automated the generation of HTML & inclusion of code.

I’ve really enjoyed the book. Great job!

I’m now considering taking the same approach with a textbook. I’m writing all my lecture notes for a course on static analysis next semester in LaTeX, and it wouldn’t take much additional effort to post them online to solicit feedback.

Based on your experience, with enough iterations teaching the class and feedback from the community, the notes might “gel” into a nice textbook in a couple years.

Congratulations! It’s fun to see the fruit of one’s labors hit the streets.

Amazon sent me an update on my preorder today — they estimate it’ll arrive here Dec 9th.

Looking forward to it!

Thanks for the book, I’m about halfway through it and have found it quite good.
