I bought the book. The reason why: there was a clear lack of documentation on Riak at the time (still is). Your book is bar none one of the best sources of material for quickly getting up to speed on Riak. I read it cover to cover several times. Your writing style, ability to explain complex topics with simple prose, and fantastic executable code snippet examples also contributed to my decision to shell out the $29 - after I had read the sample chapter. Frankly, I probably would have had no issue paying more for it.
Now, if someone would just give the node riak driver some love....
- alexangelini 14y agoCheck out https://github.com/mranney/node_riak https://github.com/mranney/node_riak by the guys at Voxer. Less documentation right now, but it runs in the world's biggest production deployment of Node. (and it's not written in coffee script)
- roidrage 14y agoThank you so much for the kind words. I'm really glad you're finding the book this helpful! Now, about the Node client. You are correct that there's been stalling over the last six or more months, but there's work on continuing the work on it, adapting it to new features in Riak and to push Frank's (original author) work on rewriting it in pure JavaScript towards the finish line. Thanks again, your comment is very much appreciated!
