# Notes
I've added this repository to make it easier to work with the book, if you feel like it.
Writing a patch should be easy: edit the markdown files under `./input/` and file a pull request; I'll handle the rest.
I didn't include the commits from prior to the release, because writing is a messy and painful process of revisions, deletions and rethinking things.
```shell
git shortlog -sn
```
tells me that I made 205 commits between October 2012 (1st commit was in September) and September 16th 2013 to write this.
# Directory structure
The content of the book is in `./input/`. To generate the book:
```shell
npm install
make build
```
which generates the output in `./output/`.
To rebuild the .epub and .mobi files:
```shell
make ebook
```
You need to install Calibre first for the HTML to epub/mobi conversion.

# Licence
This book is available for free, but what I've written remains mine.
Translations: as long as the result made is available for free (you can have ads) I welcome translations.
Other use: contact me; as long as your intentions are good I'd be happy to figure out something. I'm not looking to make money from the book but I don't want it to be republished without my permission.
