Will there be a PDF or e-book version?

Not at the moment.

This project is maintained as a living HTML/Markdown publication. New sections are added, changed, corrected, and reorganized as the material matures. A static PDF or e-book would become outdated quickly and would add extra maintenance overhead.

A PDF or e-book version may become possible later, once the content is more stable.

Can I make my own PDF or e-book?

Yes, for private personal use.

You may create a private PDF, printout, or e-book copy for your own reading, study, or reference.

Yes.

Sharing links to the book is encouraged. You may share links on LinkedIn, BlueSky, Mastodon, newsletters, chat platforms, or similar channels.

You may also include short excerpts, provided that you credit the original author and link back to the source page.

Please do not copy and publish entire sections or pages as standalone posts.

You may use the material for learning, discussion, internal education, study groups, mentoring, and similar non-commercial purposes, as long as you credit the source.

If you use the material in a class, workshop, internal training session, presentation, or similar setting, please let me know. I appreciate knowing where the material is useful.
