I can't write a journal article because of length, code inclusion, exercises, and the fact it won't be research.
-
exercises are a little 2 much for a paper tru. but loads of eeg methods etc tutorial pprs; will be indexed; argbly review is better for ppr
-
yeah the point is to write a textbook though for use on courses for programming...
-
Very neat! :-] Sounded like a tutorial > textbook from ur original post
-
yeah I can see that — I mean the whole thing could be purely a website, the problem with that is that I would never get hits/recognition.
-
and I really do not want to put the effort in without knowing it's a useful book/idea and that people will read it — why do it otherwise?
-
Sounds v logical :) Just be prepared for the time demands..

I was going to say the same thing... but no experience w books. Maybe
@evalantsoght@cMadan can weigh in? -
Main considerations would be the time commitment and thinking about what you get out of it (royalties, name recognition, etc)
-
Would be happy to talk it out sometime if you'd like
-
Sure and thanks for offering — what medium do you prefer?

Twitter DMs work, but I feel like this might be better 'talked' out (Skype/Hangout/Discord)
