Thank you, Chris, for posting the links to the book and the blog. My point of putting the book on Amazon is to get the message out to a different category of users who may only be vaguely aware of what Firefox OS is about. As you point out, the blog is free (and continuing with new material) and I am investigating putting this on Leanpub and Nook and not sure who else. The only difference between the book and the blog is that I cut out stuff that was chatter and also did a little smoothing here and there. I've tried to keep the price low. $5 is the price of a fast-food meal. I'm thinking of doing a second book gathering up my Firefox OS game reviews so that people can learn about all the cool games in the Marketplace. And I'm continuing on with the blog. My latest thought is to dig a little bit deeper into CSS sprites since they are very easy and might appeal to people who are more designers or gamers than programmers. But I'm intrigued about the new release of a Canvas debugger for Firefox. And there are some cool game libraries out there that work well with Firefox OS. In particular I'm following Construct 2 and Phaser. In particular, Construct is a great drag-and-drop program that is super easy! Everyone has been very supportive and again I thank you! _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
