Beta Books at A P R E S S . C O M

Apress betaBooks give you access to the newest programming topics straight from the author, via weekly PDF chapters and updates, all before the final printed versions are published. Eight weeks before the book’s final publication—and before other books on the topic are released—the first several chapters of an Apress betaBook become available. After that, available updates or new chapters are delivered weekly to your inbox.

These betaBooks are a bargain since the price includes a copy of the entire finished eBook. At this time, betaBooks aren’t intended to solicit feedback or shape a final book. Instead, the main function of a betaBook is to give you two-month head start on technology that may boost your career success.

This is a clever use of electronic publishing, and another step along the path towards living books.
