For those curious about the process: making the EPUB and Mobi files was excruciating. I'm currently working on a project that should make it much easier in the future. Stay tuned.
Thank you for your work and I'm particularly interested in your publishing process. I've been asked about making ebook formats for some of my HTML-based writing and have basically said, "that sounds waaaay too complicated"
This isn't a direct solution for you since your material is already in HTML. But LeanPub[1] is one simple way to get ebooks. You write in Markdown, and they produce pdf, epub and mobi formats.
Many thanks! I love the both the book and the screencast. The way that you arrange the words and sentences make it easier for non-native English speaker to understand. But for now I'll stick with the PDF version as it is more easier to switch between text editor, terminal, and browser.
Two years ago I came from non-technical background. The only reason why I am on Hacker News now is because of this guide that taught me Ruby on Rails.
I've tried hopping on the Rails train a few times now. This is by far the best way to learn coming from a PHP background. Thank you!
