You can find the notes from my Inform 7 talk at

    http://github.com/BartMassey/about-inform-7

This repo has the source as well as zcode for both test and release
versions. I haven't put a website up to serve it because I am lazy.

Patches, improvements, questions etc welcomed.

Thanks for the code and the great talk, Bart.

Tonight I mentioned Inform on Twitter and someone piped up with a book
recommendation: http://www.amazon.com/Creating-Interactive-Fiction-Inform-7/dp/143545...

I found two other books on Inform 7 on Amazon. I didn't realize how
established this was.

Yeah, the Aaron Reed book is the one Audrey and I were talking about
during the talk Wed. It's quite good, although as I said don't buy the
ebook: the conversion is terrible.

The Graham Nelson book is actually Inform 6 AFAIK. Nick Montfort's
"Twisty Little Passages" is a great book and I recommend it, but it's
not about any IF dev environment. I don't see any other Inform 7 books
on Amazon, but I may have missed something.

I really need to put a link page of Inform 7 stuff on my blog. There
are several fairly complete book-like documents on line, plus other
stuff.

Hope we'll meet again soon! That was fun. Thank Engine Yard again for me!

Drop Mike Haertel <m...@ducky.net> some email if you want him to talk
about his work on the POSIX regular expressions committee. He used
Icon to build a complete POSIX RE engine, and has told me he'd be
happy to talk about it. (Mike is the author of GNU grep and the
interesting part of GNU diff. He's currently a CPU designer on
contract, having previously worked for both AMD and Intel in this
capacity.)

Oops. Didn't mean to reply to the group. :-)  No harm, though, I
guess---thank goodness! --Bart

There's quite a community around this (and other areas of IF), which is great when you're getting started.

Some more bookmarks that might be useful: http://pinboard.in/u:spinnerin/t:inform/

And this is the Club Floyd group I mentioned (people playing IF online together through a MUD): http://ifwiki.org/index.php/ClubFloyd
