๐Ÿ‘‹ Hi Product Hunt! John Resig and I started working on this book 4 years ago, and it's hard to believe we're finally done. We set out to write the best book on GraphQL out there, and I think we achieved it. John wrote a few books with traditional publishers in the past, and we were confident we wanted to self-publish. The two main benefits are better margins (97% of revenue compared to 50% of gross profit at best) and the ability to continuously update the content (since we don't have a print edition and we have our customer's email addresses). The former allowed us to devote more time to it, and the latter allows us to provide a more useful, compelling product, as programming books quickly get out of date. I'm happy to answer any questions folx have on the book or the process of making it! AMA ๐Ÿ˜Š
