Dear fellow PerlDancer users,
developers and friends.
It's been a long time since we
decided to start working on a book. Different attempts were
made, by different core developers, and because of many
reasons, we still don't have our official book finished.
We have a big plan in mind. Writing
a comprehensive book that will go from the very beginning of
the project's philosophy to the deepest secrets of the
framework. A book any PerlDancer fan would love to have. We
know what needs to be written, but we need help.
One of the main reason we don't
have a book yet is the lack of time and focus, and the fact
that hacking the code gets always a higher priority than
focusing on a long-term brain-marathon such as writing a
book.
But. We want this book. You want
this book. It HAS TO BE :)
So during the Perl Dancer 2015
conference, we chatted a bit about that, and had an idea.
What about making that project a real priority, and what
about trying to raise some money to give us time, group
efforts, and resources to print it?
Well, we did that. We launched a
Kickstarter campaign to raise some funds for buying us time
and letting us print the book, it's here:
Please. If you use
PerlDancer at work, speak about it to your boss, and ask
about the opportunity to support the project, you'll get a
printed copy of the book in the end.
If you use PerlDancer
for personal use, consider supporting us even with a small
contribution, 5 or 10 euros can make a difference if
everyone in this list contributes.
In the end, when this
book will be real and printed it'll be a major asset for
all of us, PerlDancer users, and it will help make the
project shine even more.
If you like Dancer,
contribute, and spread the word, share this link
everywhere! :)
Let's do this.
Alexis, for the
core team.
