Tech Editors about you-dont-know-js

[ShaneHudson]

I would be interested in being an official tech reviewer, but will need to finish my own book first (publishes in March). I reviewed Pro HTML5 Games by Aditya Shankar and quite enjoyed the process, so it would be great to help out with your book since it is one that I think is very much needed! My email address is [email protected] or twitter @ShaneHudson.

I'd be interested.

Y'all are awesome! Thanks for the huge response!! :)

[bmacdonald-editor]

Thanks to all the volunteers; that was a really quick response. I'm in the process of getting in touch with everyone individually, but in the meantime, please start one issue thread per reviewer, for all your comments. Some quick tips for potential reviewers:
DO test the code yourself, and provide detailed error messages, if any bugs are found.
DO look for content that was left out, in addition to checking the content that exists.
DON'T worry about grammar or spelling errors; we have professionals to fix those later.
DON'T take it personally if your suggestion isn't used. Some issues are a matter of opinion.

[getify]

I appreciate all the great response from you editors! There were tons of great comments and I made lots of revisions to address those concerns. I have finished posting the revisions from your feedback for "Scope & Closures".

Some things to note in general:

1. If you want to help with future books, please do! I should be posting the final rough draft content for "this & Object Prototypes" soon.
2. I have added the missing figures from chapters 1 and 2, which many of you mentioned. If you are interested, go check them out.
3. I still have to rewrite the preface. If you didn't see that before, or it wasn't obvious to you that it's part of the book, take a look. It's intended as a common preface for each book in the series. There may be a Foreword written specific for each title, so if any of you is interested in volunteering for that, let me or @bmacdonald-oreilly know!
4. I didn't get any editorial feedback from the appendices. Either you didn't notice them, or they were perfect. In any case, I'm going to give them another pass as well.
5. The goal is that this book will be entering production (final edits, typesetting, etc) by early this week! We should see a produced ebook copy of this title within a month or so, if all goes as planned!

I would like to invite each of you to start tech reviews of the second title "this & Object Prototypes". We're looking to get tech feedback on it over the next 2 weeks if at all possible:

https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS/blob/master/this%20%26%20object%20prototypes/README.md

/cc @eborden @vball525 @JedWatson @ionutzp @JesseHarlin @roberocity @int32at @iennae @ShaneHudson @eliperelman

Also, if any of you know someone relatively well-known, famous, high-profile, etc, that you could recommend to write a Foreword, that referral would be greatly appreciated. As it stands, this title may go without one unless we get someone to agree soon. :)

I would highly recommend Marc Anderson Microsoft MVP (https://twitter.com/sympmarc) who is a JS expert specializing in SharePoint. http://sympmarc.com/. I would also recommend Nick Berardi Microsoft MVP who works for my company. http://nickberardi.com/

[getify]

@vball525 if you know either of the two of them, please ask them and put them in touch with me if they are interested in any capacity. I can be reached on gmail same name as here. :)

[bigtunacan]

@getify @bmacdonald-oreilly are you still looking for any tech editors for "this & Object Prototypes" or any of the future editions?

Just since my github account doesn't really reflect who I am..., this is Joe Seeley, we had dinner at Chipotle last night of Fluent. Not that it really factors in here ;)

[getify]

@bigtunacan Joe, it'd be great to have you tech review the book! Basic pattern is to just open a single issue thread on here and post all your feedback in there, so we can discuss and I have an issue # to work against for any update commits. Would like to have feedback within the next week or two if possible, sooner the better! :)

[miclovich]

👍 I'd be happy to review it too.

[getify]

@miclovich Excellent, please do. Same instructions. Looking forward to any review feedback! :)

[eborden]

I'll give it a look see soon.

[getify]

Last Call! Need all tech reviews in within the next couple of days. The "this & Object Prototypes" title will go into production next week!

[ckross01]

I'd be interested.
@ckross01 or [email protected]

[getify]

@ckross01 the basic instructions are to open a single issue thread for your feedback, and provide any technical comments you may have (don't worry too much about grammatical typos, etc). Looking to finish up tech editing within the next few days if possible.

[TexRx]

Would you consider asking @WebReflection to write a foreword?

[getify]

@askesian We already have someone who's volunteered to write a Foreword for this title. Thanks for the suggestion though. :)

[aspelund]

I'm interested. I know some examples that I think would be nice in the async section. ;)

[getify]

@aspelund would love to have you tech review the "async & performance" book... it's basically almost complete, so you can begin reading/reviewing any time:

https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS/blob/master/async%20&%20performance/README.md#you-dont-know-js-async--performance

Just open a single new issue and post individual comments in the thread for each piece of feedback you have. :)

[getify]

Just a reminder, if anyone here in this thread wants to help provide tech edit review, "Async & Performance" is draft complete and ready for your input!
