I'm currently writing a book for PragProg called Building Distributed Services with Go (though it mostly applies to other languages too) that's walks you through building a distributed database from scratch.

- farrelmahaztra 7y agoAwesome. Just signed up. Any ideas on what the pricing will be like?
- travisjeffery 7y agoNot sure, haven't gotten to that yet. Just from looking at the prices of other PragProg books somewhere around $21.95-24.95.
- zerr 7y agoIs it still worth (materialistically) writing a book considering (see PRICING section) http://fabiensanglard.net/gebbdoom/ http://fabiensanglard.net/gebbdoom/ ?
- travisjeffery 7y agoI'm not doing it for the money. Writing a worthwhile book is about the least efficient way to make money.
- zerr 7y agoNot sure about how least efficient though, indirectly it will help a lot I believe.
- bogomipz 7y agoLooking forward to it. Do you have any idea when this might become a Beta book on PragProg? Cheers.
- travisjeffery 7y agoAwesome. Hopefully within a month or two.
- zerr 7y agoDo you have an experience or learning along writing? (also a legit/common way)
- travisjeffery 7y agoYeah---each chapter begins with background on the chapter's topic, some theory, covers how and where you'd use what's we're talking about in the chapter and then we use it to build a part of the project we're building throughout the book. For example, in the consensus chapter we talk about what problems it solves and how you can use it in your projects,and then we implement Raft in the service for leader election and replication.
