On: Beautiful Racket

> I want to be able to read this with a code editor open, and the book side-by-side in a separate window.

Like this?

Only when the book is "Learn Docker in 24 Hours."

I'm a big fan of rotatable monitors. A 4x3 display rotated to portrait is fantastic for reading most PDFs, if you set Acrobat to Fullscreen and Single Page View.

As a bonus, lots of offices have a closet full of old 4x3 Dell flat-panels somewhere, so there's no hassle with procurement.
