#2Cool book, I hope you will get some success with it. I don't have a kid (yet) but I will maybe buy it as a gift as I live in one of the countries with publishers.

#3Looks great.
Recently, I was trying to wrap my head around eigenclass inheritance mechanisms and it was pretty tough. Not to mention the object model, where classes are also objects and the Object - Module - Class relationship. I wouldn't recommend Ruby as a first language to anyone — it may look easy at first, but to grasp it, you need to invest much more time in future.

Another personal datapoint — I wrote a book and funded it on Kickstarter as well (similarly named: Hello Web App) and mine was 12 months delayed. Producing a book was definitely way harder than I anticipated, esp. as I am used to the fast-turnaround times of producing something for the web. Additionally, printing alone took two months which was surprising.

Deleted my comment to which you'd replied because I shouldn't be talking about something I know nothing about.

#7Cool. Would you translate into other languages? Having kids speaking Italian I would be interested ;-)

People can get very far without knowing anything about that.

Cool. Would you translate into other languages? Having kids learning Haskell I would be interested ;-)
