I spent the past month working on a browser engine from scratch in C++ following @BrowserBook.
Browsers have always been a black box to me and I've really enjoyed understanding the components that make up these complex operating systems. I'm around 40% done and plan to continue!
@BrowserBook Just for your information,
The Korean version of this book is currently available for pre-order.
I think that the Korean version comes with a much lovelier cover. :)

@R_P_A__ Yes, at least in many countries. You can find it on Amazon, B&N, Bookshop, or a variety of other resellers; you probably know what's the best place to buy books in your country.
Really excited to share that we've finished proofs of the Web Browser Engineering and the book is now moving into production. I can't wait to hold a physical copy!

Just discovered this little gem - @BrowserBook, thanks to @robinsloan
This might just be the best book about Web Browsers ever written, and the site is a freakin' masterpiece 🖼️
Take my money - pre ordering now! 💸

Just received our copies of the hardcover edition. They feel light, are easy to read, and look great! Really excited to see these shipping out to pre-orders soon.
Hello new subscribers and thank you for the HN front page yesterday! We're super excited to see so many people becoming interested in web browser engineering.
We've been reading the final proof of Web Browser Engineering. I'm amazed: it is 512 pages long, way longer than it felt while writing it. Publication is getting closer by the day!
You can now pre-order Web Browser Engineering:

You should get it before the end of the year, perhaps as a present for your wintertime holiday of choice!
I'm trying to learn about how browsers work from @browserbook! I'll be documenting my journey, sharing the challenges I face, and the insights I gain along the way. Excited to learn! #LearnInPublic#BrowserEngineering
