Programming Elixir (Pragprog)

@sztosz I had the same problem yesterday. It’s kind of hidden. First add it to your cart, then view the cart to see coupons at the bottom, and if you are like me, you have many unused coupons for paper versions and the free ebook one is all the way at the bottom, so you have to scroll. Would be nice if newest showed up on top, or if the coupon was visible on the product detail view, but…

Thank you very much :slight_smile: I didn’t find the coupon in cart though… heh… had to go to https://pragprog.com/my_account and there it was on the bottom, but above Your Orders :slight_smile:

Hi everybody,

Did someone look over this new edition of the book.
Is it worth to buy or should I continue studying the older version ?

Watch for coupons if you own the earlier version.

Can you please tell me if it’s worth to buy the version 1.6 if I already have the 1.3 ?

If you bought a digital version of the book you might be eligible for an upgrade, if not, and you haven’t got his online course, I would get that first :slight_smile:

Should I read Elixir in action before diving in this online course as you did ?

EIA is due to be updated 2nd quarter of this year so I would wait for the update and do the course first :slight_smile:

Whooo I have a valid .edu address at work! Funny enough, only staff and faculty have .edu addresses, students do not. ^.^;

Ah right - here in the UK students get a .ac.uk address too :smiley:

You’ll have to tell all your colleagues :003:

Thank you for this, I got a copy myself and I will definitely recommend this to my Distributed Algorithms professor.

Not many programmers here but I’ll tell the few that are (though they mostly do java and such ^.^). :slight_smile:

Also At this very moment teams of pragmatic gerbils are limbering up to deliver your titles. Lol. ^.^

Now if only my new .edu account could be linked to my real account. ^.^;

Elixir Starter Pack? What is that?

Two Years ago there was a 40% discount for buying Programming Elixir/Programming Phoenix/Metaprogramming Elixir together. These days just use code ‘ElixirForum’ to get 35% off any eBooks from pragprog.com.

Other than that watch https://twitter.com/pragprog and https://twitter.com/RandyTheGerbil for the next 40% off sale (last year for example there was a “Christmas in July” sale).

Will send an email later today :slight_smile: Thank you!

It’s a shame that only a few selected countries(domains) can get the free ebooks and the others cannot.

The country field in you profile says you are in the US - educational domains in the US are part of the offer :023:

I am from the US, but I am studying out of the US at the moment and cannot get it.
