I'm the editor of the series that this book is published in. You can actually buy the ebook for $30 at http://www.morganclaypool.com/doi/abs/10.2200/S00629ED1V01Y2...

It's a pretty fair price for a 200 page book that's (well in my opinion) interesting.

Mike - drug bank is brilliant.

One of the coarchitects of openphacts here. A pointer for developers is dev.openphacts.org. All the source and data is open.

While I agree that standards are hard I think the major issue is sustaining these things. You need some set of people to code and curate even if it's small and you need good uptime/support to gain community trust.

I've been enjoying this as just a fun thing to do sitting on the couch in the evening. Sit back and learn a bit of swift. Mainly just getting info on syntax. It's surprisingly relaxing.

This is one thing I struggle with. I usually start in a notebook and then eventually want/need to port to a module environment. It would be nice if there were some guidelines or support for this sort of transition. Any pointers?
