(Poignant) Guide Earlies #
As I’m wrapping up the 8th chapter of my obscure Ruby book, you might be interested in a sneak peek at some of the art going into this 20-page fully-illustrated chapter. The Poignant Guide Earlies set on flickr has just a few scans.
This weekend I’ll also be posting some scans from Expansion Pak No. 2, which covers packaging libraries. This expansion pak will have appearances by Spiderman, Indiana Jones, various illegal Windows product keys, illegal scans of sheet music—in short, a pile of things which will render the book unprintable. With any luck, the first illegal programming manual.

The Berklee Real Book of Ruby. Let’s go to Berklee.

Wasn’t Lions’ `A Commentary on the UNIX Operating System’ the first illegal programming manual?

No, this is before rocket boots existed.

Dude, I’d totally buy a printed version of this book.
Drew
I want it!

i would buy a printed book if it contained no ‘chunky bacon’ references. i detest chunky bacon. bacon should be wafer thin and smoked lightly. for those who enjoy ‘chunky bacon’ isn’t about time they were given a polyphonic ringtone?
the dragon
chu chu chu chu, cha cha cha cha. chun chun chun, chun. chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk. CHUNKY , CHUNKY, CHUNKY , CHUNKY…... bacon.
get the melodic drift?

No

the dragon: is that sung to the tune of ‘My Sharona’?
Why: I hope the foxes are studying law with Lawrence Lessig.

w00t, the (p)G will be a completed masterwork! I would go for a hard copy as well, but I, unlike others, like my bacon references to be chunky.

Prolific!

The hardcover should have blank pages in strategically relevant places and should come with all the figures pre-printed Then we could make our own pop-up book if we wanted to..
ahem.

Okay, yes, I can do that. You are a great resource, LninYo, have I ever told you that? Well, you are.

...a popup of “a huge onion right in the middle crease of the book.” :)

I think the book needs to be sold as a package with the Bacon of the Month Club:
