- asdkhadsj 7y agoHow dry is this? I've had hit or miss success with technical books, and found that the writing style can help dramatically to feeling engaged and not dry or boring. Thoughts?
- winrid 7y agoI think it's fine for this kind of book. I read a couple chapters a night ATM. Not many jokes, but nice to read. If The Dragon Book is 0 out of 10 on the dry scale this is a 4
- emit_time 7y agoNot very dry in my opinion. Good mix of explanations, information, and context. I’m about 2/3rds through it.
- travmatt 7y agoMuch better than many other technical books.
- Tomte 7y agoFantastic book. A really good overview over distributed consensus, leader-follower-architectures, data query languages and data encoding. And IMO the best part, explaining very clearly different isolation levels and the difference between serializability and linearizability. The book is much more database-relevant than the title might make you think.
