On: How We Got Here - Stuff To Read

Nah, not suspicious. Go ahead and use that link. But if you are interested in our books and such, please do take the time to sign up for our announce-only mailing list. We don't send out stuff that often, and I'd like to think our books are genuinely helpful to working programmers.

thanks,

Re:Going, going -- news update

On: How We Got Here - Stuff To Read

Hi folks,

Sorry to say but due to high volume, Verio.com, the world's largest hosting provider has disabled our fulfillment system without notice.

But don't worry, it's not gone permanently. We will be offering this PDF again as soon as we can. Keep an eye out on our website at pragmaticprogrammer.com or just sign up for our low-volume announcement newsletter and we'll let you know when and when where we can offer it again.

thanks for your support.

We put the paper tree version and the combo pack (paper and PDF) on sale; the PDF by itself is still at the regular price.

thanks for your support!

Buy direct from the Pragmatic Bookshelf

On: Pragmatic Project Automation

You can also buy the PDF and paperback direct from the publisher (and we really appreciate that) at www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/sk/auto

That's also the home page for the book with downloaded code samples and so on.

thanks!

Here's a link that works:

On: Getting Your Boss To Buy Lava Lamps

Very funny, guys. We weren't expecting to get Slashdotted today. Try www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/pa/pa.html and it ought to work a little better for you.

We're selling plenty of PDF's.

On: What Will It Take For eBook Adoption?

The eBook industry may be stunted for some, but we're doing just fine selling PDF versions of our Pragmatic Bookshelf titles.

*Many* of our customers choose to buy what we call a "combo pack", that gives them both the dead-tree version and a searchable, non-DRM restricted PDF file. While I think the dead-tree form has the best ergonomics, the PDF is really handy for reading on airplanes, etc.

Paper is better in some ways and eBooks are better in others. Use the right tool for the job!
