Announcing Hello Web App: Intermediate Concepts (and the Kickstarter campaign)

Still from the fabulous Kickstarter video!

There were a lot of concepts that didn't make it into the first book due to their complexity, things that most web apps would probably need at some point, like:

  • Taking payments from customers.
  • Adding an API.
  • Allowing user-uploaded images and editing/resizing those images automatically.
  • Adding alerts and admin emails.

There also wasn't a lot of theory in Hello Web App by design, but there are quite a few things that are great to know as you grow as a web app developer, such as:

  • Database schema design and reducing queries.
  • Class-based views.
  • How and why we should read source code.

All of this and more will be in Hello Web App: Intermediate Concepts, the perfect follow-up book to those who've gone through the original Hello Web App tutorial or anyone who has built their first web app and are looking for the next step.

Because I love having a physical book, and physical books cost many thousands in up-front moolas, I'm running another Kickstarter campaign to fund the book!

Check out the Kickstarter campaign here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1868398473/hello-web-app-intermediate-concepts

(Highly recommend you check out the video because it was a blast to film.)

Hello Web App: Intermediate Concepts will be released in December to all backers of the Kickstarter — the first draft is already finished and I am so excited to release this new book to everyone!
