The product line of “Books for Dummies” is always structured the same. This means, this means that, same menu layout, etc. The person writing the book still needs to have a very high degree of technical background with both electronics and the spark core and sense you are a seasoned technical writer you know that structure is important.
I am no expert but, I have been involved with a couple of these books; not as an author. I just read read revised copy for 8th grade level competency. I am perfect for that job because I think at that level
It would be best if someone associated with Spark Labs was involved but, if that’s not going to happen, okay. Let me run with it.
Ah, I see. Well, I don’t think we really need a Spark Core for Dummies book, do we? The main problem is nobody on the Spark Team has time to write a book, though they have been approached. That’s where I come into the picture.
I’m not sure how much I’m allowed to say about my book at this point, but it will cover all the beginner aspects. Maybe @zach can chime in with some more information.
Maybe its because I think like an 8 year old who can’t get back in the box. Its only my uneducated opinion that having a Spark Core for Dummies in every Barnes & Noble; Local Library and sitting on my self would be a good. A lot of people are not able to make a jump in to technology without Google telling them how to do it.
Just my opinion and either way I do appreciate your comments and that you do a lot to help this community. As soon as your book is out I can assure you I will buying it.
Don’t worry @spydrop, such a book is in the works, as @timb has mentioned It won’t be part of the “X for Dummies” line of books (because I would have no idea how to broker such a deal), but it will be similar in nature. In fact in my personal opinion, I think the resources coming from Maker Media, Adafruit, and SparkFun are the best in the business.
