You may have noticed PragProg books that were available to read on Medium are gone. So what happened?

The folks at Medium decided that they no longer wanted to offer book-length content from The Pragmatic Bookshelf as part of your Medium membership. It was a worthwhile experiment that benefitted many people in the developer community, and we are saddened that the project has ended.

We will continue posting short articles on Medium, covering topics like new books at PragProg, author interviews, puzzles for programmers, and tips for technical writers. To purchase the books that you’ve come to love and to discover new books, please visit pragprog.com (or bookshop.org for print books).

We hope you will continue to follow us and support our authors by subscribing to our newsletter. You’ll get a 25 percent off promo code just for signing up. In our monthly newsletter, you’ll hear about author appearances, developer community news, new books, opportunities to review books and to write with us, and more.
