Updated TOC #11

gnlnx · 2012-07-16T06:16:14Z

Let me know what you think of the changes I've made to the TOC page.

pjcozzi · 2012-07-18T01:53:37Z

I know you put some effort into this, but I like the old one better. We want to decouple the section intro text from the list of chapters because it reduces the barrier to entry; readers can easily and quickly scan the list of chapters to see if it peeks their interest. Opening with the intro text asks for more of a commitment from the reader. Instead, we'd rather show them the outline, and hope that motivates them to read more.

See my latest commit. I envision the brief TOC as before that links to section and chapter intros. Each section has its own page. I did the Discovering section and the first three chapters so far. If you like it, go ahead and start with the Rendering Techniques and later sections, and I'll finish the chapters in the Discovering section.

I'm also open to style changes, for example, I don't like the chapter links on the main TOC page. Also, feel free to cleanup any of my new HTML; you obviously know more about CSS than I do.

gnlnx · 2012-07-18T20:58:49Z

No worries. I'll check out your latest commit and follow that style.

pjcozzi · 2012-07-19T11:36:53Z

OK. I'll finish the Discovering section and do the Software Design (VII) section. Can you do the others? It goes pretty quick when you get rolling.

Word on the street is the book was already released in London since a shipment arrived early, so I'd like to get the website up next weekend (end of July). Do you think that is reasonable for us?

pjcozzi · 2012-07-19T20:44:33Z

Given that there's some external links to the OpenGL Insights website already, I added pages for section intros, so the site can go up, but we'll add the chapter intros as planned. No rush.

@gnlnx @Groovounet I'm adding links for all chapter in all sections tonight, but will need help from you guys - if possible - to add intros for each chapter.

pjcozzi · 2012-07-23T01:42:19Z

I added placeholders for all chapters that include links to the author bios and code. All we need to do now is add intros for each chapter.

Groovounet · 2012-07-23T15:41:58Z

Hi Patrick,

Honestly it sounds very improbable to me that I will be able to help on
that:

I need to finish my GPU Pro 4 chapter for friday
I need to work on my presentation at Siggraph
I need to finish my OpenGL 4.3 review for Siggraph as well
I would enjoy to finish the OpenGL Sample Pack 4.3 as well but this is
already unlikely to happen.

Very sorry about that but I just can't either and this is why I suggested
to release now and complete this good addition later.

Thanks,
Christophe

lol. Funny, how I have many of the same deadlines: GPU Pro 4 chapter and SIGGRAPH presentation.

I might get some time to work on this tonight and tomorrow, so don't worry about it. Release any time you want, and I'll get the updates in as soon as I can.

Groovounet · 2012-07-23T15:49:20Z

Erm, how can I release the website?

Can't we redirect www.openglinsights.com to the ftp site provided by the domain, so all we have to do it move files from git to the ftp site? blog.openglinsights.com will still point to the blog.

Groovounet · 2012-07-23T15:59:27Z

I see... so you want to put the pages on that FTP. I thought we would have
the data on your FTP, it sounds either to me to have everything at the same
location to maintain. Then I could have just redirect
www.openglinsight.comto your FTP and done.

What do you think?

I put the larger pdf files on my university's account (the links are already setup), but I was planning to put the rest of the site (under 10 MB) on the domain's ftp so we can both have access to it.

Groovounet · 2012-07-23T16:17:49Z

Sounds good to me!

We can access to the website using:
http://cluster014.ovh.net/~openglin/

It doesn't really works great so far :/

I think you HTML is a little rusty Patrick :p
I actually figure out why the rendering of the website what not good
everywhere but Chrome. HTML errors.
I have a last one to fix is not standard and not
interpreted well by any navigator these days.

They will be still some errors left but those doesn't generate issues.
I finish this and release next!

lol. I learned HTML 15 years ago, and forgot most of it. Actually, I used Notepad++ to edit the files and only tested in Chrome, so I should have used a better editor and tried different browsers. My fault.

Make sure the updates are in github, and I'll try to add more chapter intros soon.

Groovounet · 2012-07-23T22:44:30Z

No probIem! I just pushed by changes to repository.

Now, I am going to update the FTP and the URL!

For you want to write a post on the blog to announce the website release?
I'll do it otherwise.

If I go to the site in Firefox, I get a page with "Choisissez votre interface préférée"

Chrome and IE are OK though.

Groovounet · 2012-07-23T23:30:13Z

Actually wait few minute an update Firefox with F5 and it should be fine.
This is because I changed the URL redirection...

I tested also Opera and Safari. It should be all ok.

Still no luck on Firefox though.

Nice post.

Groovounet · 2012-07-24T00:23:09Z

Thanks!

If you use openglinsights.com instead of www.openglinsight.com?

I am pretty sure it's a story of cache, probably in Firefox as the other
browser are working.

I had this message when I play around with the URL redirection...
