Word Cloud Bandwagon

June 17, 2008

Wordle has been meming it's way around the 'Net lately.  Figured I'd join the crowd by doing a word cloud for Release It.  This is from the preface.

 

Considering that this is just from fairly simple text analysis, I'm surprised at how accurately it represents the key concerns. "Software" and "money" have roughly equal prominence. "Life" appears near the middle, along with "excitement", "revenue", "production" and "systems". Not bad for an algortihm.

Wait, is that a ... typo I see? :-)

I did the same thing for the first chapter of "Practical Development Environments" but mine wasn't so cool.

Is there a typo? I don't see it. Please let me know so I can get it corrected for the next printing.
