I first was a backer and then the main guy behind it asked if any of the backers had experience with LaTeX. So I volunteered as a technical editor.
The book seems to be written for those that have _some_ but not extensive programming experience, and have a desire to learn C++ as a real first or second (not fifth) language.
It is still rough, but it has all the content proposed now put together.
For those that don't know programming, but want to get into it: You might want to wait a bit, but it should give a gist of what code can be like.
For those that know programming but not C++: this should be a simple book that you can skim through and start writing (valid) C++ code like a college freshman.
For those that know C++ well: Skip this, this won't teach you anything new. You won't learn the internals of how inheritance works at runtime and how virtual methods are called or anything else cool like that.
Within the next week the repo should be opened up for those that wish to contribute.
