Hello all—a quick update. We’ve received a fourth round of proofs from the publisher and it looks good, meaning the book will soon head to the printers and, from there, your homes. (At least—if you’ve preordered. Please do!)
The proof process focused on a lot of things, like getting all the punctuation in the right place, making sure all the code blocks are correctly indented, and things like that. But one particularly tricky bit was making sure Chapter 11, where we talk about color mixing, makes sense both when the book is printed in black and white and when the book is viewed in full color online. This required modifying some figure captions and adding footnotes, where appropriate, reminding people to check the website for full-color images. The book will come out in print form with no color, a color version on Oxford University Press’s web page, and as always on web.browser.engineering.
As soon as we have a hard shipping date, I’ll publish an update for y’all. It’s been a long journey! Chris and I are extremely excited that soon we’ll hold Web Browser Engineering in our hands. Hopefully you are too.
And if you are extra-excited, please do preorder the book, either on the publisher’s web page (preferred) or from Amazon.
Hi, will the print version of the book be an elaborate version of the one on the https://browser.engineering/ website?
