The Textbook Roadmap is the equivalent of HEAD for a software project. It's a page that links to the current revisions of all chapters in progress. This is where we will work on future releases of our textbook.

[edit] Extant Texts

  • Producing Open Source Software, Karl Fogel. Brilliant from the perspective of someone trying to run an open source project, but poorly structured for introducing people to open source in a classroom environment. Certainly a useful reference, though, and because the work is CC, we can lift parts of it if necessary.
