Forthcoming
This page will cover some thoughts on topics I'd like to write
about. Mostly, these will be limited to books for which I have
representation, i.e., I'm
interested in finding a publisher for them.
Programming Quartz
Under Contract for O'Reilly. (2003)
Overview:
- Tutorial demonstrating Quartz by creating a zooming,
vector-based Finder replacement
- Programmer's guide going through each of the core
concepts
- Reference guide, organized according to the header files
Represented Proposals
Haskell In a Nutshell
Is in the hands of my agent.
- A practical tutorial showing Haskell in everyday tasks: a
calculator, a shell, a scripting language, a CGI mechanism
- An overview of the complete language
- A reference manual for the standard libraries
Aqua in a Nutshell
Is in the hands of my agent.
- How to use Aqua and tailor it via preferences
- How to customize it and build new interfaces using Interface Builder
- Designing and programming full user interfaces
Unrepresented
Necessarily, these will be brief and sketchy. If you're a publisher and these look interesting, contact me or my agent.
Film Theory
- The nature of 20th Century plot
- Roald Dahl
- An American in Paris
A Cybernetic Life System
- Graph theory and relationships
- Mathematical proofs of the nature of society
