About Pragmatic Answers

When you’re facing a hard deadline and need features that work and code that passes all the tests, you don’t want to hunt through forums and dubious blog posts hoping to stumble across a solution. Pragmatic Answers give you accurate information from experts you trust. These short ebooks (50 to 75 pages) provide hands-on instruction that gets right to the point and helps you solve thorny programming problems.

The Latest: Ruby on Rails Background Jobs with SideKiq

The latest book in the series, Ruby on Rails Background Jobs with Sidekiq
by David Bryant Copeland, was recently released in beta. During the beta period, we collect feedback from readers and work out any kinks in the content. Betas are not yet copyedited, so we aren’t asking you to spot typos — just tell us about gaps in the content, code that needs adjusting, and technical issues.

Here’s the page on DevTalk for Ruby on Rails Background Jobs with Sidekiq where you can leave comments, add reviews, ask questions, keep a book-reading journal, start a book club, and tell us about errata:

If you buy a Pragmatic Bookshelf book while it is in beta, you will get all book updates during and after beta for the same edition of the book. Plus, you’ll be getting cutting-edge content and helping us make better books.
