At the occasion of `Read an eBook week’, I thought I’ld do something you can’t actually do with real books: buy (and read) a version of a book before it is released. Andy Hunt, author of the excellent book `The Pragmatic Programmer’ (a must read for every developer!), recently announced the availability of a `beta’ version of his new book, `Refactor your wetware’. This beta version is an early electronic version of the book, which gives the reader the opportunity to get a sneak peek at the book, and give feedback for the final version (which, as a beta book owner, you can also download when it is released). So, I went over to the `Pragmatic Bookshelf’ store, ordered my copy, and got an e-mail with my personalized copy only a few seconds later.
