I just downloaded my copy of the new book. Can’t say anything except that it is now available after being announced for a while and that it contains 502 pages.
Will start reading this weeking.

>Tinderbox was designed and implemented by a person not by a committee, a corporation, or a focus group. That person is me: Mark Bernstein. I designed Tinderbox, and wrote just about every line of the tens of thousands of lines that make Tinderbox run. Tinderbox is the product of an individual vision.
I am very surprised to see that line in the website. I always assumed some kind of team behind Tinderbox.

Tinderbox / Eastgate has always been Mark Bernstein solo. He has some office assistance. Stacy Mason helped out with some literature for a while. But the entire vision, development, implementation, workshops, helpdesk, and web support is Mark. As a volunteer (a mega-volunteer, in truth) Mark Anderson contributes the enormous aTbRef that has documented every feature of every release from 2.0 thru 7.x
Eastgate is not an outlier. All the best Windows and Mac software—the truly creative stuff—is usually fewer than three and often only a single developer.

Well he could use at least one sales person helping him to redesign the website and the UX of the program.

In a few days or weeks, I should be interested to hear from anybody who will by then have read the new edition in what general ways it adds to the contents of the first (which I read some years ago).
