Whats New In Version 2.0?
The biggest change between my first version of is in the layout. Readers who
have seen the first version know that it was written as a
single page. While that wasn't a bad start, and allowed for
the reader to very quickly access any part of the page they
were interested in, there were several significant downfalls
to that approach. The new chapter-based layout should help
to improve navigation, presenatation, and load times.
The second change is in the order of sections for this
writing. A few sections have been moved, rewritten,
divided, combined, or outright removed; depending on
the way they fit in the new revision. Many sections are,
in this version as well as the previous, just place holders
or skeletons of what they will contain.
The third change is in the push for more illustrations.
The previous version had some key illustrations, which
are retained in this version as well. However there was
also a lot of white space in the previous version, and
several long spans of text. The author aims to have
a much larger illustrated content in this new version,
in the hopes of improving readability and acecssibility
for those who are not familiar with some of the background
fields for this reading.
