Idea of the Beta book club

What is a beta book?

Currently, ruby-related books are ordered through pragmaticprogrammer.com (pragprog). The pragprog book features that each book is compiled independently with information from buyers, online upgrades are also supported. many of his books are in the beta book stage, that is, they are not officially published, but PDF has been written and can be read. After purchasing PDF, they can be updated to the latest version on a regular basis (including modification errors, it has been synchronized with the latest version of the software.) for fast upgrade technologies such as Ruby and rails, The betabook approach makes sense. For agile web development with rails, the version is from Beta, beta 2, beta 3, candidate, p1.0, p2.0, p3.0, p3.1, and p4.0 are all updated and synchronized with rails versions.

Currently, club genuine books are as follows:
