Programming Elixir 1.3 is now in beta from PragProg. If you purchased the eBook from them, you can get the updated version free.

To do so, log onto your PragProg account, and you’ll see a “100% off” offer for Programming Elixir 1.3. Click through to “purchase” the book, then you can download the eBook.

Kudos to Dave Thomas and crew for giving us the new edition for no additional cost.

This is one of the reasons why Pragprog is the best tech publisher out there :023:

I don’t see this offer when logging in, did it just pop up for you?

I wish I could buy https://pragprog.com/book/elixir13/programming-elixir-1-3 / physical book now, and have the digital copy until the physical book exists - but that isn’t an option. : / Do you know if they have an upgrade price from digital to physical in situations like that?

I added my question to it’s forum: https://forums.pragprog.com/forums/449/topics/14501

I think they do, but let us know what they say @sheriffderek

Chances are that there will be something equivalent. 2016-02-01 I purchased Web Development with Clojure, Second Edition as a beta eBook for US$ 24.00.

Right now the following coupon is sitting on my pragprog.com account:

Save $14.00 when you purchase “Web Development with Clojure, Second Edition (Paper Book)” because you already own “Web Development with Clojure, Second Edition (eBook)”.
Good for $14.00 off any of the following items:
Web Development with Clojure, Second Edition (Paper Book)
Expires: never

and the current pricing for Web Development with Clojure 2e is

eBook + Paper $46.00 - Save $14.00 on the combo pack.
Paper Book $36.00
eBook $24.00

So in the end I would pay the same as the combo pack - though it’s less of an “upgrade” but more of an “add-on”. Keep in mind that the eBook was “upgraded” for free from 1.2. to 1.3 - that is not going to happen for a physical book.
I got my Programming Elixir 1.2 as part of the Starter Kit for Elixir Development. There already is a Starter Kit 2 for Elixir 2 -$23.60 (i.e. 40%) discount with Programming Elixir 1.3 instead - but I don’t know if that will affect the eligibility for the physical book coupon.
And remember the above post (via 25% off code).

If you guys want to save money and read ALL these Elixir books for FREE and LEGALLY, check out your local library. Many have access to all Safari e-books, and once you get a library card, you can read all of them for free.

Good point. But I like to use highlighters and jot down notes in my textbooks.

I’d seriously consider buying books by major OS contributors as they dedicate so much of their time building amazing tools we use for free.

…and with publishers like Pragprog you can just wait for their sales (or make use of our 25% off voucher) :003:

Just want to express my deep gratitude for having available the updated version of the book as a free upgrade on pragprog :slight_smile:
I had to stop my Elixir journey for a while and I’m glad to find I can pick up where I left off with all the new things included.
Absolutely awesome!

If you bought the Programming Elixir 1.2 can you get the 1.3 book for free? Or would have you have to repurchase it?

Did you buy the ebook? If so you should be able to download an update - refer to posts above :023:

Yes, I’ll check out thanks @AstonJ

[Update]

As mentioned above

The new paper book just came out and I received an email explaining that I had a $15 coupon for it because of my digital purchase. So, the physical book was $23 (+ shipping)

So, to officially answer my question that is no longer relevant, YES. You will be able to get the physical book for the same price you would have if it were available for bundle.
