Inheritance in go (golang)

AquilaX — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 04:47:37 +0000

It took me some time to wrap my mind around go's inheritance. Here is how it works:

This results:

$8g inherit.go && 8l inherit.8 $ ./8.out Hi Fi

Creating ebook with Markdown, pandoc and GNU Make

AquilaX — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 12:39:34 +0000

Writing bok with markdown is pure joy. I started a short practical SQL tutorial yesterday and it started do get traction today. I used shell script at first to generate the static HTML page for the book but make looked like a better idea. Here is the Makefile I use:

BUILDDIR = ./build


.PHONY: clean spell
all:	html epub
html: *.markdown style.css Makefile

	pandoc -s --css=style.css --toc -o $(BUILDDIR)/index.html *.markdown

	cp style.css $(BUILDDIR)
epub: *.markdown style.css Makefile

	pandoc -t epub --epub-metadata=metadata.xml -s --epub-stylesheet=style.css --toc -o $(BUILDDIR)/book.epub *.markdown
clean:

	rm -f $(BUILDDIR)/*.html

	rm -f $(BUILDDIR)/*.css

	rm -f $(BUILDDIR)/*.epub

	rm -f *.bak

spell: for i in *.markdown; do aspell --lang=bg_BG check $$i; done

Important note: make requires TAB for indentation.
