About the Book

The book is structured into two parts:

The first part is a collection of recipes, or building blocks that behave as individual global commands. These can be used as you go about your day, and can be called at any time to speed up your workflow or for pure convenience.

The second part is a walkthrough of creating a cross-platform build tool from the ground up that you and your team can use to speed up your workflow.

Earn $8 on a $10 Purchase, and $16 on a $20 Purchase

We pay 80% royalties on purchases of $7.99 or more, and 80% royalties minus a 50 cent flat fee on purchases between $0.99 and $7.98. You earn $8 on a $10 sale, and $16 on a $20 sale. So, if we sell 5000 non-refunded copies of your book for $20, you'll earn $80,000.

(Yes, some authors have already earned much more than that on Leanpub.)

In fact, authors have earned over $14 million writing, publishing and selling on Leanpub.
