Two months ago, we published “Your First Year In Code” with longtime DEV member, @isaacdlyman and 15 co-authors. This book is both technical and non-technical, offering practical guidance and advice for early career developers. Those of you with more experience will resonate with many of the stories told, and will receive a refresher on the perspectives and challenges of newer developers.
We initially launched “Your First Year In Code” as an e-book, but we immediately received lots of requests for physical copies, as not everyone enjoys reading via a screen reader. I’m excited to share that “Your First Year In Code” is now available in print. Isaac has worked hard to make the book accessible. The digital version is on a pay-what-you-can-model and the physical version is at a reasonable sticker price of $20 USD. We’re very excited for this format to improve the reading experience for those who prefer a tactile touch.
The best way to purchase “Your First Year In Code” is from an independent bookstore near you. There’s a simple search engine at IndieBound to help you find one. If going indie isn’t an option, you can also buy from the following retailers (please leave a positive review!):
Similar to the digital book, proceeds will be distributed among the deserving co-authors and 10% of all proceeds will go directly to Girls Who Code. We just bought a copy for everyone on the DEV team, you should do the same!
Happy Coding!

A tip for all you junior developers out there: your employer will probably reimburse the price of the book if you ask! And if not, the ebook is still available for any price you can afford at leanpub.com/firstyearincode.
And if you live outside the US, here's a list of international retailers who may carry the book: ingramspark.com/how-it-works/distr...

Whoops, thank you.
You're welcome, and no worries!
This is incredibly cool
Great news!
Will it be available at the DEV shop?
As of now, there are no plans for it to be available though the DEV shop. Shipping logistics are complicated!
To bad that the search engine is only US (and the web shop links are too). The shipping cost is making it less attractive but congrats!
What country are you from? Maybe I can track down a store nearer to you.
Hi Stephen, DM me on Twitter (@isaacdlyman ) and I'll help you out.
