Software Development with Anki Books
It makes sense to me that Anki Books should explain the technical knowledge needed to run it or make something like it using itself as a code example. I believe in the Rails way of teaching, and why should a learning software not explain what it does in an interactive way, so that anyone interested in using it can get up and running?
It goes without saying that no book will make you proficient in programming without you writing some programs on your own. I will do my best to explain what I think is important to be able to move on and do things independently. If you find mistakes, please let me know.
