Copy right policy about teaching your book #1853

Closed HamedSiaban closed 7 months ago

HamedSiaban commented 7 months ago

Hello.

I'm a frontend developer trying to get better everyday. I love your books and I think all frontend developers should read and learn it.

I was thinking as I learn each chapter, may be I could introduce your book, translate and teach it in a simpler version to other people in my youtube channel. I won't show content of the book to people, Only teaching what I learned from it in my own way, according to the table of the contents. Like a classroom. But I'm not very informed about copy right issues and etc.

So can you enlighten me about the possibility of this? Thanks.

You can absolutely teach JS with your own content, and if you so choose, inspired by the content of my book. I look forward to seeing what you provide!

I would ask that:

  1. don't not show literal text or code in more than a few bits at a time... like don't just show a huge chunk of a chapter or whatever. It's better if you adapt the concepts and make your own code examples (that's better for your learning, if nothing else!).

  2. don't name your teaching/content in a way that's confusing to folks as if it being from me/YDKJS.
