… visu­al­iz­ing your tags :)

The “Tag­ging” book by Gene Smith is out. I am still await­ing a paper copy, but had a chance to look at the online ver­sion already. It looks really com­pre­hen­sive, con­cise and cov­er­ing all impor­tant tag­ging con­cepts. Which is not easy for such a mov­ing tar­get topic.

Besides, my elas­tic tag maps visu­al­iza­tion is fea­tured on p.102f. Nice!
