40% off Pragmatic Programmers books and screencasts.
- steve19 17y agodoes anyone know how these discounts affect author royalties? Do they get 40% less and do they have any say regarding their books going on sale?
- javery 17y agoYes they get 40% less and no they don't have any say, that being said 40% off at pragprog is probably still more money to the authors then the 40% + cut that Amazon or other retailers take.
- simonista 17y agoAnyone have recommendations? The only thing I've ever bought from PragProg is Agile Web Development with Rails, which I can recommend.
- justinweiss 17y agoMost of their language books are pretty good -- Programming Erlang and Programming Clojure are both worth reading, if you're interested in either language. It's disappointing that they don't discount The Pragmatic Programmer, as that's a book I wholeheartedly recommend to every working developer. I think that's still owned by Addison Wesley.
- runevault 17y agoYeah sadly they don't have the publishing rights to that book. Actually I should reread my copy at some point, seems like every time through something new sticks.
- runevault 17y agoAnother vote for programming clojure if you are interested in it. I also have Prag Thinking and Learning and the book on web GIS but have not had time to read those (was from their black friday deal last year).
- dkersten 17y agoI can vouch for Programming Clojure too. If you're interested in Clojure, then its an amazingly good book and worth owning.
- chasingsparks 17y agoThe RSpec book. It's not done, but it's pretty good. Cucumber/RSpec helps you think.
