KatrinaWow! For about a year now, I have desired the fortune of owning a print copy of this book. My computer vision is terrible and as you mentioned, there’s nothing like a tangible, spiral bound, book of knowledge.
I was checking back to see if there was a release yet of the printed copy and saw this post. There is no book on the market as comprehensive, concise and beautiful on wordpress I can find other than DIG. I have worked with WP, but have just started on two projects that are wordpress intensive and would love to finally own a copy of this masterpiece.
If the updated print version is not going to be available for while, is there any hope in the world of finding an old one to buy or simply any other way I could get ahold of some printed WPDIG?
I’m signing up for the notification and really look forward to purchasing! Before it sells out, as I’m sure it will!
-
This is awesome news, guys!
I am happy that you did all the updates so fast.
Fingers crossed. -
SheshnathNice work guys keep it up. I would love to get printed edition, Any idea where I can find in India..??

DheerajI’ve always wanted to learn how to code themes in WordPress, and how to get the most out of it (tweaks and all).
I really wish I win this ‘Bonus Surprise’ of the printed ‘Digging Into WordPress 3.3’ + all the extras!
Thanks for the bonus surprise; I really love the idea.

Shan @ Last Shreds Of SanityI need to get this book, especially for the clients I migrate from Blogger to WP. I have WP for Dummies but it’s a couple years old and not exactly relevant any longer.
-
helloplanetSeen like interesting book. Update me if printed book already available :)

Dharma KelleherI must say that I’ve been impressed with this book. I’ve been using and developing themes for WP for years and I’ve learned several new techniques just in the first few chapters. Well done!
-
MIchael BThis looks like a great book to win. I am just starting out with WP and, while, you can find most things searching online, it takes a lot of time and then you have to check that what you have found isn’t out of date. Having a printed book is an extremely handy ready reference and you know how up to date it is. Hope the print edition is available soon.
-
M.leonThis is the best book about WP.
-
Win?
That’d be great. I’m italian… and with the mess there is here right now it would be a breath of fresh air for my brains.

Chris MarquezChris and Jeff I always enjoy you love on teaching people on web technology from your blogs.
Recently I start learning how to setup up cms (like modx and wordpress). I just wish I have known that to set up a cms like modx or wp, all I had to do was create MySQL table, install cms and let everything take care of it self . Yes among other things like setting up sever environment such as xaamp.
I use to think you had to do some voodoo web magic to set up a related sql table to get it to work but no just create the table.
ha reminds me when I finally understood what people meant when they say they don’t like JavaScript they mean they dislike the dom or when you learn how to layout web page with floats. You think when are we going to get a proper layout mechanism. Which you know there are 3 propose css layout mechanism such as: Flex box, Grid Layout and Template ASCII layout.
Man all those a ha moments. :)
