HTML book version available

I finally figured out the problems I have been having with LaTeX; it wasn't properly exporting my book to HTML and I haven't had time to mess with it since I moved to Japan. However, I finally fixed the issue and so now an HTML version of my book is available for those who prefer that format.

I'm working on the second version of this book, making editing changes, revising sections, adding new information; in general, trying to make it better than it currently is. When completed (no ETA on that) I plan on publishing it more ebook versions, along with a physical book.a

Published versions coming soon

I have found two publishing companies, one for ebooks and one for physical books, that will allow me to formally publish my books. I thought about publishing my current book but realized, with the 2nd edition being created now, I might as well wait for it to be done and simply publish that.

So, when the next edition is done, I will publish it for those people who want to purchase a version that isn't just a PDF.

2nd Edition in progress

I really wanted to have a revised version of my book available by now but my job prevents me from working on it. Being in the Navy, and deployed for several months, means I don't have a lot of off time to work on it. Though I have some free time during watch, I'm not allowed to bring my laptop into the shop so I can't work on it that way.

Thankfully, when I do have time to work on it, there isn't that much that needs to be modified/updated. The main thing is adding more information about Python 3. Since Python 3 has been out for a year now, it's more mainstream. I may actually rewrite the book to showcase Python 3 and just add a chapter talking about Python 2.x. I figure most people will be using Python 3 but some *nix distributions are still using the older versions of Python, so it's good to know what the differences are.

So, when I get a chance, the next edition will be posted to a web link and torrent sites, like the current edition.

Ebook direct file link available

I finally had a chance to upload the book to a file hosting site. Now, visitors can download the ebook (with supporting source code files) directly, without having to mess around with torrent files.

The link to the .zip file is on the left side of this page, or you can use this direct link. I am working on creating other formats, e.g. ODF, HTML, etc. but my LaTeX software doesn't want to convert correctly.

However, I'm also going to work on a revision to this book so I might just hold off on the file conversions until I have the latest revision completed. Most people seem to prefer PDF files for ebooks anyways, so I don't expect the lack of version to be a big issues.

If you have a file preference you would like to see, post in the comments and I will see what I can do. Thanks.
