Done editing Object-oriented Programming in R

I just finished editing Object-oriented Programming in R. You can get the finished version on Leanpub. I have also uploaded it to Amazon and iBooks, but it takes a day or three for them to review new books before they put them up, so you can’t get them there yet.

With the editing to take care of, I haven’t done much writing on Meta-programming in R, but I am making a little progress. I will be done with the next chapter this week for sure.

An interesting thing is happening at Amazon right now. They have integrated print-on-demand with the kindle publishing, so in principle I can publish the books as paperbacks as well as ebooks. I don’t know how much control I would have of the layout there, though. I would prefer to make my PDF versions into physical copies over having someone translate the ePub version into text. I might look into it once I’m done with Meta-programming if there is an interested in it, though. With the cost of starting new books on Leanpub, and the time it will take me to get that collect in royalties for the existing books, I won’t be starting a new book in a couple of months, so this is a project I can play with in the mean time.

Sign up to my mailing list to get informed when Object-oriented Programming in R is out at iBooks and Amazon and to get informed about new projects.
