As someone that cares greatly about the Postgres ecosystem there aren't nearly enough books out there, so really excited to see this one come to life. Instead of targeting DBAs the focus on app devs is very refreshing so that people can start to leverage more of the awesome in Postgres. I haven't yet read the book myself but absolutely will.
If you're curious to read some of Dimitri's writing ahead of time his blog is also a great resource - http://tapoueh.org/ http://tapoueh.org/
- qaq 9y agoI think it's to a degree a function of significant volume of high quality material available in the open. It's hard to sell a book when you can go to Bruce Momjian's site https://momjian.us https://momjian.us and get access to a ton of information and that is just one resource.
- craigkerstiens 9y agoAgreed there are a number of pieces out there in the open, but not many in a consolidated form or that flow from one step to the next. Perhaps it is because there are a number that blog about all things Postgres, but a really common question I hear from people is what book should I pick up if I want to become an expert at Postgres. And while some books are out there, there hasn't been a perfect answer to date, hoping this one helps :)
- reacharavindh 9y agoThanks for sharing the link to Momjian’s blog. I enjoyed reading his posts for content and his concise writing style.
- tortilla 9y ago"focus on app devs" This is exactly the type of book I've been wanting for a long time.
