Template talk:Programming languages bookshelf

To be listed here the programming language book must be at least 50% completed.
It is imperative for Wikibooks to concentrate on quality. Book-Quality in that respect is more important then market dominance of any particular programming language. Therefore only well written language books should be mentioned on the main page.

However if a category would become empty because of this rule we should keep the most advanced book as an example.

I have not removed any language yet as I will check current progress first. I will also first check quality of books on the Programming languages bookshelf as well to see which language might be a candidate for addition.

Help is as allways welcome.

How do you measure degree of completion?
Does this mean that half the chapter headings must have content or that the content of half the chapter headings must be worth having or .... Sorry if that sounds facetious but measuring degree of completion could get contentious. The aim is worthy nonetheless, whever you are :-). --kwhitefoot 21:30, 25 November 2005 (UTC)


 * "sympathic" - it's not the aim to make the bookshelves as short as possible. I know a lot of programming languages and understand a fair amound of the trade. The book should have enough content that the basic features of the language are describes in about 50% and hence become usefull to someone trying to learn the language. That sounds like a lot of work but then most books are below 25% anyway - look for example and Programming:Action script - I would expect the Wikipedia article to have more text. --Krischik T 09:16, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
