haXe 2: Beginner’s Guide book is published and on sale!
(Note that this is the mail I’ve sent to the haXe mailing-list. More to come about my feelings on the writing of the book in the next few days.)
Hello everyone!
This mail is a bit unusual and I hope everyone will be happy to read the news inside.
It is my great pleasure to announce that my new and first book “haXe 2: Beginner’s Guide” is now available!As the name implies, this is a guide to beginners.
Writing a book is not an easy task, but I enjoyed it and hope you will enjoy reading this book too.
As you may know, I’ve been coding with haXe since the very beginning and I have to say I have always enjoyed this language.Now, haXe is evolving pretty fast and more and more people and companies, with various ranges of skills, are using it to do lots of things such as website editors, games, or any other kind of applications.
haXe is gaining momentum and this book is a proof of it. By the way, I’d really like to thank Packt Publishing for their support. Now, let’s show them how much we appreciate it!
In the next weeks and months, haXe is certainly going to break the limits and extend to new horizons. With the new CPP target and NME, haXe will certainly be able to fill the gap that has been created by several OS’ and devices and I can’t express how excited I am because of this!
I’d like to thank each and everyone of you, newcomers and people who have been there from the beginning. You make it so exciting to be part of this community! Now, I’d like to thank Nicolas for sure, but also Franco. Thanks for always being OK to have a talk and share your ideas! Hugh for writing the CPP target although we had very few exchanges. Thanks to all the reviewers!
Also, thanks to Pimm Hogeling for writing the foreword of the book.
Thanks to everyone who has been participating in this community and let’s continue to make haXe and its eco-system better and better.
