Ok, dumb question: Is the link supposed to link to the actual book (i.e., is the book free and/or open source) or is this just a page of miscellaneous interesting links about the book (which we can pay for, later, when it's published).
I was expecting the book, but the page itself says "This page is a placeholder for material related to the second edition of The AWK Programming Language."
It's fine if this is a placeholder page (and an awesome excuse to read talk about AWK here on HN :) ) but I want to be sure that I'm not missing the book itself.
- RGBCube 3y agoWhat I understand from the page is that the Second Edition of the book will reside in the page when it is released (the reason why it says it is a "placeholder").
- _ph_ 3y agoI think the page description is quite clear: it contains material related to the book. Not the book itself. So I would guess all downloadable code and perhaps supplementory material.
