Wasn't there a new edition of the book coming soon?

Is this new edition? What have been changed?

grumpyprole Jul 13, 2024 View on HN

I think there should be a second edition of this book then :)

pragmatic Aug 12, 2011 View on HN

What's the relevance of this now? Did these just get added. This book is 2 years old???

treesrule Jun 2, 2021 View on HN

is it worth getting the new edition of this book (its like 25$ more for me)

Oreb Jul 22, 2022 View on HN

Is there a new version of the book? All the links I find lead to the 2020 edition.

Great book. Do get the most recent edition, because the recommend parts in the older ones are quite outdated.

mikevm Jul 19, 2022 View on HN

Wasn't the first edition longer than this one?

yrro Oct 17, 2025 View on HN

I'd like to see an updated edition too.

Was this book updated for the Oct 2015 release? Or is this more or less the same as the book you asked when you originally solicited feedback?
