Live coding: a user's manual is out this week, published open access by MIT Press. I have my copy already, after many years it's real!
I just put up a placeholder website, and will upload the pdf, epub and mobi ebook files there on Tuesday, maybe making a web version. It'd be interesting if people started contributing edits, adding extra chapters etc..

LIVE CODING: a user's manual, by Alan F. Blackwell, Emma Cocker, Geoff Cox, Alex McLean and Thor Magnusson
With text 'live coding' in the background manipulated into a repeating pattern. The code for generating this pattern is also shown in a box, partially obscured by my thumb, saying something like:
function newPattern () {
var type = document.querySelectorAll('path'), i; currentScale = 1;
currentTime = setInterval( function() {
for (i = 0; i < type.length; ++i) ( type[i].style.transform='scale('+ currentScale +)'; currentScale = Math.random() * 2;
}
