We just posted an application and wiki entry for a new experimental FTP deployment client for ePublisher. Anyone interested in using FTP(S) for deployment, please give it a go and give us feedback. Please comment either on the wiki page or this blog post.
I lack objectivity when it comes to programming. I enjoy it. Programming is problem solving. It almost always includes a reasonable explanation. Programming involves building things, and fixing and refining the things that you build.
In a recent Study Hall, someone asked how one can deploy the ePub output generated by ePublisher to an iPad. This path has been a little unclear to me and so I promised to research and blog what I found.
Since the launch of ePublisher 2010.2, which included the new ePub format, I have been spending time with the iBooks app to see how I like it. That’s what I want to talk about in this article. What are my impressions, prejudices, likes, dislikes and so on.
Someone asked me about this at RoundUp a few months ago, and I’m just now getting around to publishing it. I’ve just posted a tip for creating a two-celled note style table for a given paragraph style on the WebWorks wiki.
The implementation uses the wwtransform:super resolver. We are working to make this the blessed way to do overrides in ePublisher. We are working on formalizing the implementation for the 2009.1 release.
Enjoy and please report any problems.
