>Do you think it is necessary to write online and then in paper form as well?
I assume you mean that what is a point of publish a book, where much of the content is documented online ?
I think it is in Japan. In fact its a big thing in Japan. First of all, the majority of WordPress docements are in English, and many Japanese internet users finds dificulty to undrestand. Secondally, I think there is a some sort of status in Japan, if you make it into a book. If there is a book, people thinks its a proper and respected product … what ever “proper” they think.
Even if its in English, whats useful would be is a reference book, full of template tags, API hooks, development related stuff.

Books from word press. Do you think it is necessary to write online and then in paper form as well?
Sometimes I like to hold a book in my hand…I can’t always carry a pc everywhere I go, now can I?

こんばんは
本屋でじっくりと立ち読みしました。僕にとっては読んだ(主に英語)内容のが多かったのと、読まなきゃいけない本がたくさんある、独習PHPをまだ半分しか突破してない、等の理由で購入はしませんでした。でも良い本だと思いましたよ。初心者から中級者向けの、WordPress普及にぴったりの本だと。Appendixが便利そうなので、落ち着いたら購入すると思います。レビューなんかはその後に書かせてもらいます。
ちなみに、大阪ミナミで一番大きな本屋(ジュンク堂難波支店)にも関わらず、本棚に合ったのは写真に写っている3冊だけというのがちょっと残念
