Announcing Building Git
Most books necessarily draw on other topics in order to build useful programs, but for reasons of scope they must assume the reader already knows these incidental topics. It’s dismissed as a language you cannot write programs like Git in – it’s too slow, it’s too “high level” – and web developers are dismissed as not being “real programmers” by other parts of the tech ecosystem. So, I wrote this book for the not-real programmers, the people told they’re not hardcore enough, that programs like Git are written by brain geniuses and that mere mortals cannot understand them.
