Deploying Elixir (Book)

Will do, once I get some time to get a page up with details, I’ll make sure to post it there

Awesome!

Nice, let us know the details and we can add it to our book thread too

I just saw this thread, but for those interested I’m working on a book, specific to releases, but with content that touches on deployment as well. I don’t have a specific release date in mind yet, since I want to finish the first pass of all the content first, but I’m hoping I can do that within the next 2-3 months. For those not using releases it may not be that useful, but I hope to make them appealing as an option for deployment, so it could still be interesting if you’re curious about them. It’s a topic I’m pretty passionate about, so I hope I can write more than 13 pages about it

@alamba78 and @dgamidov I kind of panicked at first because:

1. Like it was said there was no information and no progress bar about the book so I thought it was a finished book

2. It wouldn’t be the first time I see people trying to sell “great” books with “expert” content and then they’re just a dozen pages at most barely teaching you anything but the bare basics

Yes, there was no progress bar and last update information - this made misunderstanding.
I completely agree with you. We should support our community. And make it better.
I hope Alan Harper will see this thread and join our discussion. It will be great to know his plans on this book.
Writing books is huge labour and I didn’t want to demotivate anyone.

LMAO. No, I’m not Alan Harper. I just saw the book’s page and saw 13 pages and 10% and wondered what all the fuss was about. If it didn’t have that information 2 days ago, then your complaint and subsequent refund definitely changed that.

I’m hoping the book turns out good. We need to support our small community.

I am ready to buy it again when (if) it will be worth to.
After your post I have checked and now there is progress bar and I can see that it is 10% complete, but 2 days ago there was no progress bar at all. And I was without information if this is the whole book and when there was last update

Alan Harper, is it you?

I totally get what you’re saying but just keep in mind that the book is only 10% done. There’s still another 117 pages to go. Even 13 out of 13 pages entirely on deployment won’t be enough to judge the quality of the book. So, I think it’s way too early to make claims that the book is a waste of money at this point.

It will not be confusion if 13 pages were about deployment. At least 10. But not 3 pages for $10 minimum and $20 recommended.

And compare it with Dave Thomas Programming Elixir, which costs $25. 354 pages of valuable information.

BTW, Leanpub returned my money back.
