Hi, I really love it and I'm very impressed. I'm actually just a high schooler and I was working a book for Java that I was planning on self-publishing as well. I was wondering if you could lend some insight into how you formatted your book (especially with the code)? Did you use any software or get it done by someone else? Or did you use any template that you recommend?

Hi, Sure I'm using leanpub.com for generating the ebooks; they have great tools and manuals for the markdown style they use. The book itself is saved into a private GitHub repo; so I can keep tabs on all the changes. Formatting the code becomes a walk in the park thanks to leanpub.com If you need more help, advice or any help at all feel free to email me at amacgregor [at] allanmacgregor.com
