Book review: Ajax Construction Kit
,----[ Quote ]
| The companion CD contains all the sample projects and the tools one needs to
| run and alter them. Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X users can use the sample
| projects in their own web server environments (if they've set one up), but
| I'm hoping that they will try booting the live CD instead and experience the
| joy of Linux as a nice side effect of learning Ajax. Because the CD has
| XAMPP, Firefox, and the Bluefish editor conveniently bundled and ready to go,
| booting from the live CD will often be easier than trying to set up a
| development environment in other operating system environments. A positive
| experience like this may be just the thing to inspire some new converts to
| the Linux way.

It's a nice new trend.

A New Way to Introduce Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| While I would certainly not wish to speak for everyone, I do try to
| introduce Linux to just about anyone that will listen. And even
| though I would rather avoid using the "XGL whiz-bang gloss" to do
| so, I think, for a long time, the bootable Linux CD was a seriously
| effective way to get the word out.
