Interesting! May I ask how come you've chosen to study Farsi? I would've emailed you but I didn't see any emails on your profile.

I've been fortunate enough to have Andrew (the author) as my Physics prof, last year.

Although I've always enjoyed and understood physics (to my own share) before, the way he taught it all of a sudden made everything much more clear. I could see the connections between each concept and the next.

To be able to teach this well, indeed requires a lot of experience; and as much hard work and passion; and Andrew does/has all of that, despite all these issues.

> I would like to give my students the very best learning experience that I possibly can.

I could't agree more. Not only is he knowledgeable, but he's also great at conveying it.

I'm writing this comment in a hurry but I really felt I had to write it. I'll write a follow up in near future; and I'll try to explain the situtation from a student's point of view too. All I can say right now is that this is not what he (and many other Contract Instructors) deserves.

If you ever read this, Andrew, I'd like to thank you again for all you've done for me, and many others. Please keep aspiring and inspiring us.

Glad you liked it! GitBook is a pretty cool tool I'd heard about before; and when I started reading Nick's posts, I knew it was the best time to try it haha.

I had that feeling too, so I started publishing his posts in GitBook, which has nice formatting and syntax highlighting: https://www.gitbook.io/book/aminb/rust-for-c

The repo, from which the book is built, is available on GitHub: https://github.com/aminb/rust-for-c

I tried contacting and asking him before, but didn't hear back, so I just went ahead and did it myself.

Nice project :) The Nastaliq is displaying fine but with Nazanin font, characters are not connected and are displayed incorrectly. Chrome 35.0.1916.153 under OS X Mavericks.

Also, any plans on publishing the source?

If the website is yours, please change the font! Comic Sans ruins all the greatness! Choose among hundreds of free fonts on Google Fonts and embed it on your website so we can read it better. Thanks for sharing.

I'm really sorry for not being able to back you. In fact, I don't even have a credit/debit card! Else, I would've helped.. So, sorry about it.. but I tweeted it..

Thanks for making this!

It's not built-in out of the box, so you gotta ask the developer about it. But you should be able to easily use it by adding the js files to your header.
