The Pragmatic Bookshelf publishing imprint is wholly owned by The Pragmatic Programmers, LLC.
Andy Hunt and Dave Thomas founded the company with a simple goal: to improve the lives of professional software developers. We create timely, practical books, audio books and videos on classic and cutting-edge topics to help you learn and practice your craft, and accelerate your career.
We are not a giant, faceless, greed-soaked corporation. We’re a small group of experienced professionals committed to helping make corporate software development easier.
Our titles do not contain any Digital Restrictions Management, and have always been DRM-free; we pioneered the “beta book” concept. We’re here to make your life easier.
