A lymric from Chloe:

In a garden where code softly grows,
Bonzai thrives, as the creativity flows.
With rwxrob at the helm,
Crafting words with great skill,
Instructing on crafts, as knowledge bestows.

With chapters that sparkle, and sections so neat,
Guiding coders to stand on their feet.
Through commands and through tests,
They share all their quests,
In the world of Go, their efforts compete.

  1. A Code Mage’s First Spell Book:
    Learn Practical Computer Science and Programming with Go as a First Language
  2. Tome of Terminal Magic:
    Learn Powerful Techniques for Coding at Terminal Velocity
  3. Go Bonzai and Learn Cobra!
    Build Stateful, Speakable Command Trees with Powerful Tab Completion
  4. (something with ‘arachnid’ about web development)
  5. (something with ‘python’ about python, ansible, and machine learning)

Not gonna happen 2023. This is a good goal for the year after we get settled down in our new place where we will be for at least two years. Need to focus on health and other stuff first.

I must finish at least the first drafts of the following books by the end of 2023, the sooner the better (some of them are waiting on the software to be finished first):

  1. Tap That KEG, Manage Knowledge Like Software with Knowledge Exchange Graphs
  2. Terminal Velocity: Mastering the Fastest Human-Computer Interface
  3. Go Bonzai! Building Modern, Stateful, Speakable Command Trees
  4. Modern Parsing Expression Grammars with PEGN and Go Ratex

The Boosts have been good and all, but they have always been very loosely organized. This makes them approachable and all, but having a solid, consistent resource outline to guide that has always been the goal. All the KEG work I’ve been doing has been with the ultimate goal of making it faster and easier to write and maintain these books and sites a reality.
