<div dir="ltr">Hello, Pavel.<div><br></div><div>Thank you very much for responding. I let Packt know that we have a co-author for an LLVM book. We'll just wait and see if anyone else wants to step up. For reference, I think I've seen three people listed as authors on a single book, which can reduce the workload on any one.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again,</div><div>Matthew</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Aug 15, 2020 at 4:55 AM Pavel Kosov via llvm-dev <<a href="mailto:llvm-dev@lists.llvm.org">llvm-dev@lists.llvm.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi, Matthew, all</div><div>nice to hear about interest from Packt Publishing for LLVM<br>I think there are a lot of professionals in this mailing list, who can be an author of the book.<br>But writing a good book demands a lot of time, so that's why there are not so many responses (and also maybe because of well-formed and updated online documentation, which can be a good replacement for the book).<br>Nevertheless, I think that one comprehensive well-written book can be really useful for helping newcomers be involved in LLVM more quickly, so I would offer my help to the person, who will be able to take the responsibility to be an author (I can write some chapters, e.g. about PGO, internal structures like DAG, etc)<br></div><div><br></div><div>Pavel</div><div><br></div><div>-----------------------------</div><div><br></div>Hello, LLVM Developers.<br><br>My name is Matthew Emerick and I have an opportunity for you and the LLVM<br>project. I represent Packt Publishing in the acquisition of new material<br>to publish. I have been working with one of their Product Managers, who<br>may have reached out to you, and he asked for my help in securing an author<br>for a book about LLVM.<br><br>>From my discussions with the Product Manager, Packt is looking for a book<br>about an overview of the project along with best practices from a user<br>perspective. Off the top of my head, I could see an introductory chapter<br>with the history of the project and a high level overview. Then a section<br>about the technologies involved and what they do. Then finish up with a<br>chapter of best practices through some example projects.<br><br>Is there any interest on your end? Will you consider it? I look forward to<br>your response.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Matthew Emerick <br></div>
