It’s become pretty clear that the technical book-writing business is not worth the time and effort—not to mention the years of time that I could have been contributing elsewhere. But is there a better way? This article explores the mechanics of writing technical books and the alternatives.

At initialization time, set the delegate to refer to the function itself. Thus, replace recursion with a call through a free variable. Just another level of indirection, ... [ read more ]

The question is, how the heck and I going to do an hour-long presentation without a demo, or a projector to show it with? I'm thinking about bringing hand-puppets.
