Last week, Dave Thomas's (blog) came to play in the regular meet-up Asakusa.rb local Ruby community. Speaking of Dave's, also, as the author of the classic Ruby / Rails books some, as one of the signers of 17 people early Agile Software declaration, published in 2001, bracts signorelli among software developers It is famous. I am writing co-authored a book called signorelli - "the road to master craftsman from craftsman of system development expert programmer" in 1999. In addition, there is also much in Ruby user for the past '14 number of users was about dozens in the United States, it is a person signorelli of feeling "great predecessors" in the Ruby community. If you can see the person, I might find Speaking of one of the co-author of "Agile Web Development with Rails" this blog.
Pragmatic Bookshelf is an e-book venture while rather less, pick up the technology of the topic in more rapid timing, that release PDF, epub, mobi format in volume than a paper book. Only English books at the moment, but I might have ever bought about two books and one book if people of Ruby system. For example, manual became a hot topic in the Ruby on Rails is the standard adopted in April 2011 of "CoffeeScript" has been released in August 2011 in the Pragmatic signorelli Bookshelf, but O'Reilly of the well-established is CoffeeScript book January 2012, Addison Wesley put out the same because it has become the plan of July 2012, it was put out you can see Pragmatic Bookshelf is or how fast.
The early because of an electronic publishing it might be taken for granted, but, in fact, Underpinning quickness of the publication of The Pragmatic Bookshelf is the draft and editing system of its own. When the co-author of "master programmer", wrote books and Andy Hunt, who is a co-founder later, if you get tired of the way of traditional publishers for version control of the document and how to manage code samples to be published in the book instead, the system of their own. It seems to have done by themselves to work of typesetting and layout.
I will say that, when writing, be given that kind of editing tools and CUI (storage of submission to) repository of the book for (software developers more) Author of Pragmatic Bookshelf. JRuby is not included in this tool, you can use the rake command that can be called the make command of the Ruby version, version-up of the book (write-once, or to correct typographical errors) seems possible. It follows that corresponds to the case where the reprint took first place when a book of paper, and of that correction of clerical or typographical errors do not come around Innovation guru as "reader author Editors print shop bookshop readers" It is not repaired and. It is this that is "reader author (rake) readers" in one shot rake command. I also bought about four books so far, but the announcement of version-up of the book you will receive e-mail from time to time. Unlike software, it be really I do not read back be upgraded where I read once and I do not have and not feel a little contradiction. "Old publisher signorelli is not known is what is the publication"
In the days to sell one book is '10 than five years be continued, I was making a book take the time. Only the list of books that list that you can try so is it worth, traditional publishers and was thinking. But, Dave's says "only books I was no longer 's choice anymore" he said. Business model and cost structure books and paper are different, there is no restriction on the number of pages (volume). It is mean, has grabbed the demand by remarkably shorten the time-to-market in this CoffeeScript so above. Pragmatic Bookshelf, which is one of the publishers began to be delivered to the reader as "Beta" books be in the form of incomplete.
Dave's, is also critical for DRM to be "Do not criminalization readers". Pragmatic Bookshelf, which is one of the publishing company that incorporates the earliest, an approach called "social DRM". The name of the purchaser will be engraved on the epub and PDF. I will prevent casual copying this has become a necessary and sufficient deterrent. Readers of Pragmatic Bookshelf, so our engineers, you'll also possible to wipe out the name from the PDF files if they also matter of minutes. signorelli The book Pragmatic Bookshelf, (other signorelli than the name is engraved, there is no limit to the physical copy) is completely DRM-free in this sense. But, for now, profit seems to come out well in this Pragmatic Bookshelf. I do not know why you are doing well is, seemingly due to the conscience of individual readers, seemingly due to eye surrounding the goods or because something niche subject. Someone is profitable how much?
This up to the release signorelli of the book title 200 or more, this all black. 4000 parts from 3000, called the ten million copies in the book to sell the most books do not sell, Dave's says "author earns more than our core business are a lot" he said. When it is technical publication signorelli of Japan, On'noji it (rather than a, if Urere, it is if it has one) 3000 parts even if it has one in the first edition recently. I think any bestseller Once sold than a million copies, but just orders of magnitude. I think the target readership is Na's still different order of magnitude in the English-speaking and Japanese-speaking. By the way that he is entrusted to professional external editing work to be calibrated and working structure of the chapters in the Pragmatic Bookshelf.
30-40 U.S. dollars the printed version, book Pragmatic Bookshelf is a place of 20-30 U.S. dollars of the 30% discount is the electronic version. So far because it is so not only sold about 100 books of this paper, it will be almost all of the sales of the electronic version. If it is assumed that sell about 20,000 copies per book, sales of four million parts total so far in the entire Pragmatic Bookshelf. Assuming that $ 25 book, you will be referred to sales of $ 100 million (80 billion). If Urere 20,000 copies in the $ 25 one book On the contrary, sales 40 million yen 80 yen as $ 1. It is not taught, but the share of author Will it about 50% (share of the author's traditional publishers By the way, 7-15% or so) be underestimated. If you, 20 million yen. People to quit the day job, and that trying to write a book really well but it is likely to appear if it is this.
