Adding Move programming language book to the list of books

Open baja-kralj opened this issue 2 years ago • 9 comments

What does this PR do?

Add resource

For resources

Move is a safe and reliable language originally created by Diem. You can read language white paper on Diem developers website.

This book is a collection of all the information about Move language created by the team at Mysten Labs.

Why is this valuable (or not)?

The Move programming language is used currently as a Smart Contract language on Aptos and Sui blockchains, and is in great demand

How do we know it's really free?

The creators of the Move book website use GNU general public v3.0 license

@baja-kralj Formatting looks good to me. Just a question of if we want to add this new language which I will defer to the other reviewers.

In decide where to put a resource that we want to list, such as this one, we have 3 considerations.

  1. where are people who should be interested in the resource most likely to discover it?
  2. Where will someone most likely to try to put it 6 months from now and discover it to be already listed
  3. Will we be stuck with an "orphan category

Answers:

  1. in the "blockchain" subject area.
  2. in a new "Move" language area. (because new users ignore the advise to use the search facility)
  3. possibly

My preference is to put it in "blockchain" (#1), then relocate it when more resources appear. A good argument can be made for #2, but a clincher would be if there's already content related to Move in the blockchain area.

Please consider the 3 criteria, and we'll merge based on your considered recommendation.

I only considered "by programming language" list, because it is a book about the programming language, for subject it should go in "blockchain", but I don't see Solidity books referenced in "BY SUBJECT" list. @eshellman

Solidity has 2 books and 6 courses. What is your considered recommendation?

eshellman avatar Dec 05 '23 01:12 eshellman

both Solidity and Move are languages created specifically for smart contract blockchain development and nothing else so I would put them in blockchain subject.

@baja-kralj go ahead and make the changes suggested and add the resource in the blockchain area. Once you do that we can complete the pull request.

If you don't make changes the request will get stale and that will lead to the request being closed. Looking forward to those changes.
