[My apologies for the double posting. I was apparently too
excited to
include a subject in my previous post. ]
Good evening Pike fans,
We're pleased to announce the immediate availability of
Pike: An
Introduction. Three years in the making, Pike: An
Introduction is the
definitive introduction to the Pike programming language.
Weighing in
at almost 300 pages, the book contains numerous examples
which
coincide with topics of discussion, as well as a chapter on
the
basics of several popular modules.
Proceeds from sales of Pike: An Introduction will be used to
help
fund Pike development and marketing. That means that, in
addition to
getting up to speed on your favorite programming language,
you'll
also be helping to advance and promote Pike.
We expect the book to be available at online outlets such as
Amazon
or Barnes and Noble in about a month. Until then, you can
get your
copy from Lulu, our printing vendor for USD 29.95. In
addition to
getting your book sooner, Lulu's commissions are lower,
meaning that
a larger percentage of your purchase price will be made
available for
supporting the Pike community.
Learn more about the book, and purchase your copy today by

As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome!
Best,
Bill Welliver and Martin Bähr, editors
