New Draft of Buckminster Book is available at http://tinyurl.com/ncv4lq

This is version 0.5 of the book, and it is now getting near completion.
I (think) have one or two more examples to write, and then final editing
and polish.

Your feedback is much appreciated.

Regards

Hi Henrik,

thanks a lot for the new version of the book!
As for the feedback: maybe you should correct the advanced property
section after my issues in the 'dynamic property refs' discussion.

This one:

Here is another more advanced example:
<«element» format="/tmp/somewhere/${{0}}">
<«function» ...>
</«element»>
In this example an element that has a format where {0} is expanded to
the value of the first child
element, uses this value (i.e. {0}) as the name of a property that
should be expanded as the final value.

First line on page 69 is hard to follow. Might be a typo.

Hi, no, not a typo, but some commas would make it easier to read. I will
rephrase it.

The text is now changed to read:

"As an example, if you want an attribute in component-C to include the
artifacts ‘g’, and ‘h’, you can declare the attribute’s base to be an
empty string (base=""), and use the paths ‘plugins/g’,
and ‘plugins/h’. You get the same result if you instead set the base
like this: base="plugins", and set the paths to just ‘g’ and ‘h’. Does
it matter which you use? The same files are referenced in both cases.
The answer is: yes, it matters when you are copying the result. Let’s
say you copy the result to a location ‘Z’. In the first case you would
get ‘Z/plugins/g’ and ‘Z/plugins/h’, and in the second case you would
get ‘Z/g’, and ‘Z/h’."

I hope that is clearer.

Hi Henrik,

The propertyElement example at the top of page 101 doesn't look like proper
XML. Does it need to be something like this?

<propertyElement
key="hatType"
mutable="true">
<constant value="bandana" />
</propertyElement>

Tas.

Hi Henrik,

Page 152, Section "Access to prerequisites and product location", First
sentence. There appears to be a small typo on the word 'though', which I
think should be 'thought'.
