We’re launching something new: The Reading Room, a book club right here in The Coder Cafe community.
We’re kicking things off with one of my all-time favorite technical book: Designing Data-Intensive Applications, since the second edition just got released.
If you’re interested, here’s how it works:
One chapter every two weeks (no pressure, no guilt). You can find the full schedule here.
Discussion happens in the #ddia-v2 channel on Discord.
O’Reilly is kindly sponsoring the reading group! 🎉 3 participants will be randomly selected at the start to receive a free digital copy of the book.
Depending on engagement, we may also organize a live session every half of the book to discuss together.
A shared reading experience with other engineers who care about the same stuff as you.
Next steps:
To join, add a 👍 to this message in the Discord. Not in the server yet? Join here.
To have a chance to win one of the 3 free copies, fill in this form (O’Reilly requires an email address to send the free digital copy). The random draw will happen on May 1st.
We will start reading the first chapter will start on May 4th.
See you in The Reading Room.
