Hi there!
I’m the author of the book, and I’m considering updating it with a second edition.
What would you like to add/update/remove? Your opinion counts! 🙏
- Any new topics or language features?

When do you think the second edition of your book will be available?

Hi. Thanks for your interest.
Unfortunately, I’m really busy at work and not able to make any meaningful progress. So the project is pretty much considered cancelled at this point until I am able to find time.
Edit 1:
On the bright side, if I happen to have a bit of time then I might still contribute via blogs or other forms of media.

Advanced examples of embedding Julia in a C / C++ code would be great. Mainly for large projects.

I find that your book is such an excellent resource that maybe—given your limited time resources—it should be turned into an open source project, e.g., using LaTeX, so that the community might have an excellent up-to-date book on _design-patterns and best practices with Julia_?
