[ANN] German Clojure Book
Stefan Kamphausen
please let me announce the writing of another book on Clojure, this
time in German.
So, if you're familiar with that language you might want to read the
tiny webpage at http://www.clojure-buch.de where I'll announce
whatever little news I may have, or the publisher's page at
http://www.dpunkt.de/buecher/3372.html.
With regards to funding Clojure (http://clojure.org/funding) I'm
rather happy to announce that for each copy sold 0.50EUR will go to
Rich Hickey. I really hope that this will help funding Clojure 2011.
Kind regards,
Stefan Kamphausen

Congratulations! I hope there will be an English translation one day.
The book cover is awesome; really like the design and the main font.
Keep it up!

probably not. There is good English material available and even
better coming up. I don't see how I could produce something better
than Chouser or Stu.

You don't know how proud you made me with that remark! It was painted
in 2008 by my daughter who at that time was 5 years old. The original
is approx 1m in height. Thank you very much, indeed!
Cheers,
Stefan

I thought the cover was a Bratko, as in other Lisp book....

let me know, I worked as a freelance IT journalist for German and
Austrian publications for 4 years. :-)

heh, thanks for the offer. I think I did things in the wrong order: I
first recruited a team of friendly proof readers and then made the
public announcement later.
However, feel free to contact me via email.

OK, I only have three years for the German Linux Magazin up my
sleeve. You win :-)

That's great news about the book, and kudos on tying it back to
funding. Clojure is open source *and* funded by its community--a
terrific combination. We did something similar for Programming
Clojure. The royalties belong to Relevance, as I wrote the book on day-
job time, and thus Relevance is pleased to be funding Clojure at a
substantial level. See http://clojure.org/funders for a list of all
the organizations and individuals who have contributed. The sheer
number of contributors is impressive, and a testimony to the community
evolving around Clojure.
I hope that everyone who finds commercial success with Clojure will
make a small, sustainable funding commitment to help Clojure thrive.

thank you. I sincerely hope this will really matter. And I am very
happy that the publishers immediately agreed on this. Actually I only
pointed them to the article in the group and they came up with the
0,50EUR per book, themselves.

While I don't think that "everyone" will be possible, I really find it
a very *pleasing* thought that my work on what I currently do, will
help this great programming project/language. If this may serve as a
good example, even better! Nobody *has* to do this, the license
allows commercial use, and I don't think that this community will
frown upon small businesses making money of Clojure by using it as a
tool or a topic. But we may make it a success this way.
Kind regards,
Stefan
PS: Hopefully I can some close to the quality, you've done already...
