Video Book Review: Pragmatic Guide to Git

pragmaticguidetogit.jpeg

Last night I recorded a new episode of my Emerging Tech Talk video podcast (as part of my One Day of Content Creation) where I reviewed the Pragmatic Guide to Git written by Travis Swicegood and published by Pragmatic Programmers in November 2010.

As I note in the video embedded below, I found the book quite useful as a reference and a solid intro to git for people who may have experience with other version control systems and want to come up to speed with git. It is not a tutorial on version control systems, so if you have no experience with VCS’s, you’ll need to read some other book first. (Or watch my earlier ETT episode where I explain version control systems.)

Enjoy the review…


In full disclosure:

  1. O’Reilly sent me a copy of this book to review, but I would have purchased it anyway since I have a passionate interest in git.
  2. The links to Amazon.com above use my affiliate code and so if you actually buy the book I will receive a tiny amount of money.

Read the book? How about posting a review on Amazon?

There are already a couple of great reviews on Amazon.com, but the fact is that reviews do influence people to buy books and, well, it never hurts to have more reviews!

If you do have a moment to post your thoughts on the book (positive or negative), I'd definitely appreciate it. Thanks!
