Dear friends and readers:
On October 1st, 2013, I announced that JavaScript Allongé became free: It is now licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. You are free:
- to Share—to copy, distribute and transmit the work
- to Remix—to adapt the work
- to make commercial use of the work
Read the license yourself for the full details. But the bottom line is, it’s free, free, FREE!
And don’t just take my word for it, here’s the entire book online.
q & a
I don't want to pay to download a PDF. Can I make my own?
Yes, you can take the HTML that is available online or the markdown source in this repository and make your own PDF. Or any other format.
I'd like to share it
And I'd also like you to share it, in this form, in PDF, or anything else. Go wild, just follow the attribution rules in the license.
Hey, I have a great way to make money with this.
Go for it, you are free to make commercial use of the work. For example, you could:
- Take this book, add your own annotations, expansions, and commentary, and sell it yourself.
- Sell it in ebook form for less than I'm charging.
- Host it on your site and make money from ads.
- Write a JS tool and use the book as part of the help content.
It's all good, just follow the license terms.
I found a typo! Can I email you about it?
Thanks, but my email inbox is a disaster zone. Let's treat the book like OSS. In order of my preference, you should:
- Create an issue, fork the repo, fix the issue, and then send me a pull request. (Best!!)
- Fork the repo, fix things to your satisfaction, and then send me a pull request. (Better!)
- Create an issue. (Good.)
Thanks!
