Introduction

Even though this looks like a typical blog, it is actually an experiment in using the features of simple blog software to develop, over time, a single unified piece of work. This is really an alternative to the book.  It is not constrained to the chapter format and a single sequence of text.  I think of this as a fabric of writing, so I am test-driving the term "fabwrit".  In this introduction I'll describe this after outlining the key topic areas.
