Elm for React Developers — draft is done, looking for reviewers

Hi all,

I’ve just finished the first full draft of a book I’ve been working on: Elm for React Developers. Every chapter written, every code sample compiling. Now I need readers before I call it done.

The book is aimed at React (and TypeScript) developers who are curious about Elm but have never written any. It tries to meet them where they are — starting from patterns they already know and showing how Elm handles the same problems, rather than starting from scratch with FP theory.

I’m looking for two kinds of reviewers:

  • People coming from React/TS who’ve never touched Elm. You’re the target audience. I need to know whether the book actually works for you — where you got lost, where I over-explained, where I skipped something.
  • Experienced Elm folks. Tell me where I’ve explained something wrong or missed an idiomatic approach.

What’s in it for reviewers: your name in the preface (with a quote if you want), and real input on what the final book looks like. I’ll send chapters for free — I don’t want the price tag to be a barrier to honest feedback.

Full post and contact details here: The Draft Is Done. Now I Need Reviewers and Feedback! · cekrem.github.io

The book is also on Leanpub if you’d rather just buy the in-progress version: An Elm Primer for React Developers [Leanpub PDF/iPad/Kindle]

Thanks! :smiley:
