Using Web Technologies to Print a Book

Glad the author shared his methods. If you're going to repeat this, I'd suggest you give it a try with the first 10 to 15 pages. Something like a small zine. Then use all the tools and make sure you get the output you're expecting.

I've written several booklets that I sell on Amazon and my website. If you're interested in writing but not ready to commit to a full novel, try publishing a small zine or two. It's a lot of fun.

My latest is a series that teaches JavaScript by creating computer art. Readers learn by copying.

Thanks for sharing this link. I've written a few simple art-making Javascripts as well (http://richardmavis.info/squares, http://richardmavis.info/circles, http://richardmavis.info/stars, http://richardmavis.info/snow, http://richardmavis.info/malevich, http://richardmavis.info/whale-shark-skin) but am definitely interested in other techniques.

I really like minimalist abstract art. These are great generative art pieces that fit the bill.

Very off topic, but I couldn't find another easy way to get in touch with you. If you're up for it, I'd be super keen to swap notes on self-publishing. (Or to be more precise, I'm super keen to learn about your experiences with subscription self-publishing, and I'm hoping I can return the value in some way. I've been doing skill-building biz books & a bit of textbook stuff.) I'm [email protected] if it's relevant.

PS. sorry to everyone else for the off-topic!
