Building Book Production Platforms p4. 05 November 2014 : : adam@booksprints.net. Note: this is an early version. It has been cleaned up some, but is still needing links and screenshots. Apologies if the rawness offends you :). This series is skipping around the tool chain, depending on what's most in my mind at the moment. Today it's file conversion, otherwise known as 'rendering'. This is the process of converting one file type to another, for example HTML to EPUB or Word to HTML, and so on. Just save ...

Building Book Production Platforms p2. 08 October 2014 : : adam@booksprints.net. Amongst the core requirements for a Book Production Platform are the source file format and the editor, and of course they are intimately linked. The development team is usually faced with choosing the format first, then the editor. The choice is pretty much HTML? Project. Kathi became convinced HTML was the way to go and did some great work on HTML editor usability with the Aloha HTML editor. Http:/ www.w3.org/2012/...The (...

Single Voice

http://www.adamhyde.net/single-voice

11 April 2015 : : adam@booksprints.net. Version 1.0 'not as raw'. During a Book Sprint, or when talking about Book Sprints, the question very quickly arises - 'what about the author's single voice? The fear is that collaboratively produced books will lose that personal, individual voice that we know so well from all the books we have read and loved. Be a little lumpy if it was written by a collective? Could, for example, the wonderful. The Art of Fielding. We can only imagine what a mess would be created...

Building Book Production Platforms p1. 06 October 2014 : : adam@booksprints.net. There are a number of web based Book Production Platforms out there at the moment. Booktype was the first, its birth was around 2006-2007 and started as a series of extensions (written in perl) to the TWiki platform. TWiki was, and is, an old school wiki with a very pluggable architecture. I firmly believe that Book Production Platforms should be built as stand-alone applications dedicated to the work at hand - building book...

An astonishing proposal. Most people who attend a Book Sprint for the first time think it is impossible. Create a book in a week? Most think that maybe they can get the table of contents done in that time. Maybe even some structure. But a book? 5 days later they have a finished book and they are amazed. A great motivato...

Think Editing Environments, not Edit Boxes

Think Editing Environments, not Edit Boxes. 28 March 2015 : : adam@booksprints.net. It takes a lot of expertise and time to build a good HTML editor. We have many of them out there to pick and choose from. CKEditor, TinyMCE, WMF VisualEditor, Aloha.to name a few. These are great softwares and are leveraged by many software projects. These editors are an extremely important part of the web. Without them it would be a web without text production. That is pretty difficult to imagine. Just one piece of paper.
