Thanks for you appreciation :)

As to naming, Zed Shaw is OK with this: http://sheddingbikes.com/posts/1288945508.html

Agreed, it's a great project and I applaud you for undertaking it and pushing it so far. Takes a tremendous amount of work and self-motivation to do something like this.

I read the linked post top to bottom twice and I don't see Zed anywhere giving blanket permission to use his title. He is responding to people who ask him if they can port LPtHW to another language, by saying "here's how to write your own so you don't have to port mine".

You should change the name unless you have contacted Zed directly for permission, IMO.

In this skeleton book he offers he does seem to imply that anyone can use similar names: https://gitorious.org/learn-x-the-hard-way/learn-x-the-hard-...

Great, but Addison Wesley, publisher of the paper versions of some in the series, may not be, and at this point, they might be able to make the call.
