The Little Cloud Foundry Book

[Jonathan "Duke" Leto]

Howdy,

I just flipped the public bit on The Little Cloud Foundry Book:

http://littlecf.github.com

I felt the need to write this book because I saw a dirth of objective
information about Cloud Foundry. Most of the information about Cloud
Foundry is currently marketing material or written by people who very
much want you as a customer.

My vision for The Little Cloud Foundry Book is a community resource of
objective information. The goal is for it to be short, yet
informative. Currently there are PDF and ePub versions. A Kindle
version is in the works.

Pull requests are very much appreciated! Please let me know if you
feel that there is something missing.

Duke

Does Pandoc do that, or will you need something like Calibre?

Data is the new coal - abundant, dirty and difficult to mine.

Howdy,

Take a look at my Makefile, pandoc supports exporting to just about
every format :)

I haven't tested the ePub, so if somebody can take a look and let me
know if looks decent, that would be awesome.

I just downloaded and opened the ePub using Calibre (on Linux, but
runs on Windows and Macs as well.) It looks great, but you'll need to
put metadata into it at some stage in your workflow. I don't know
Pandoc well enough to know if you can do that in Markdown / Pandoc or
if you'll need to do it with another tool. I do ePub metadata editing
in Sigil from xhtml exported from LyX.
