There are some initiatives underway like NoFlo or the Reactive Manifesto plus all sorts of frameworks on different levels of abstraction. But what´s missing is down-to-earth and easy to understand literature for the average developer.









The other day, though, I stumbled across this Kickstarter campaign for a book on data flow programming from Matt Carkci. That sounds like what I´m looking for. A book explaining fundamentals written by someone with experience in current technologies; Matt seems a guy like you and me and pretty down to earth. I like that.





So I pledged for the campaign and would like to ask you to do it, too, if you´re interested in getting flow-design or messaging further off the ground.





In case you´re not yet convinced: Let Matt tell you in his own words , why even a single dollar would be a good investment:





Messaging - or programming with flows - is different from your grandpa´s object orientation. It´s so different, it needs time and effort to wrap your head around it. And it needs more information and perspectives than currently available.
