OK guys, the third tome is finally out.
I'm particularly happy about this one because I've established a new workflow that allows me to have better quality *and* smaller size. Check out the Amiga Developer Conference 1991 (held in Denver): http://www.storiepvtride.it/scan/Ami...enver_1991.pdf I've sent notice to Bombjack for publishing on his fantastic website |

One note (if I may): your scan does not have bookmark entries. I usually do that in order to give a full overview about the book. I don't have clear whether in your case this would applicable (I don't understand much of Swedish language). Quote:

I want to re-scan my previous two books in order to apply my new workflow: that'll increase quality and decrease size. Thank you also for suggesting that software you mentioned, it might reduce the huge amount of time it currently takes to me! My current workflow basically is: - scan with Ubuntu "Simple Scan" application and save each page in PNG lossless - a batch script use Imagemagick to convert all pages to black+white (2 color), resave in TIFF with codec CCITT - Open each image with GIMP, clean as much as possible - Drag and drop all images into Adobe Acrobat that does a lot of magic (image fitting, OCR, ...), PDF is created. Resave PDF optimizing TIFF with JBIG2 codec. - Create detailed bookmark entries (again with Adobe Acrobat) cheers |

I think the books you scanned are good enough for preservation, maybe it's better to focus on something that is not scanned yet. There some amiga books from BSB that is not scanned yet for example.. wink wink. |

I could help more with book scanning (as my spare time allows) but I don't have time to search for books not yet scanned. If anyone wants to send them to me, I'll pay for the shipping and I'll do the job. By the way, binded books are a bit more complicated to scan because basically you have to tear the book apart and scan every single page. I wouldn't do it with my own collection of Amiga programming books :-o so you also have to find a victim to sacrifice for the greater good. |

The Denver/Milano 1991 tome has just been sent to Bombjack so it should be up soon under Amiga Manuals. There were about four or five additional chapters compared to Denver 91, and some reordered chapters. I still have two unscanned conf. notes left, whenever I get the time Yes, I actually bought an extra copy of one amiga book just to scan it. The sad thing is most of the better ones are really expensive and hard to come by, like Total Amiga Dos, Mastering Amiga Programming Secrets and Amiga 3D Real Time Graphics. |

For the record, the files on bombjack.org can't be accessed anymore. Does anyone have a copy of the Devcon documents and can pass them along?

http://www.bombjack.org/amiga/amiga-commodore although I may be wrong because some time has passed. If you clearly see that one of my scanned books is missing, I have them all and surely can provide them anytime. cheers Last edited by RCK; 29 December 2021 at 11:33. |

Is there a collected works of DevCon stuff you can download somewhere? (Many dead links in this thread...) Some of the talks were slightly disheartening - at least assuming these are Commercial level devs that paid well for their status - as the docs were just as good. Oh, and I can feel how I'm trying to reach back in time to instill a bigger urgency of advancement as it feels things are just moving so slowly when you listen to it all :-) |

All the files linked in this thread seem to have disappeared... did anyone save them and could post them to the zone?

@Hombre40 bombjack.org has added subdomains but didn't include redirects for the old links to point to the new location, so I guess a lot of stuff linked in this forum during the years will return a broken link. Now the Amiga manuals are under:
https://commodore.bombjack.org/amiga/ https://commodore.bombjack.org/amiga/amiga-commodore/ I've re-uploaded anyway my scans on the Zone: - Amiga_Developer_Conference_1993.pdf - Amiga_Developer_Conference_Denver_1991.pdf - Amiga_Developer_Conference_1990.pdf - Amiga_Developer_Conference_1990-TOC.pdf (fixed "Table of Contents") Enjoy!

The table of contents has a duplicated page (the page about copyrights) instead of the second index page for the contents (which convers sections 19 to 37). The tome I have on paper was missing the page covering sections 38 to 40 (as I noted in the last page of the PDF, some pages from the tome were missing). I have attached the fixed table of contents to my previous message and also uploaded to the Zone. If I have time I will rebuild the whole PDF with the correct table of contents (I have all the files anyway). Again apologies and thanks for spotting the error. |
