I am so glad to finally say that the first ColdBox Book: The Definitive Guide To The ColdBox Platform has now been released. You can purchase it from our e-store now and it will soon be available for purchase in all Amazon stores worldwide. Please also note that our e-store ships worldwide. So this is an early X-Mas Gift! Welcome to ColdBox Books!
Like all other human things, if you find any errata or suggestions for the book please send us your comments to info@coldbox.org. Also, please note that I am starting already on the next version of the book and our other two books, so get ready for more fun!
Dec 2, 2009 at 11:59 PM Keep up informed about availability via Amazon in the UK. A 50% premium on the book price to cover shipping makes the book hard to justify outside of the US. :-)
Dec 3, 2009 at 5:32 AM Agreed, I'd love to know if / when it'll be available from UK sites like Amazon to avoid the shipping cost. The cheaper it is, the easier to convince the boss ;)
Dec 3, 2009 at 10:53 AM Are there any plans for a PDF / electronic version?
Dec 3, 2009 at 12:36 PM Kindle version is available.
The UK and international distribution takes about 4-8 weeks. So it will get there eventually. For now, our e-store is available.
Dec 3, 2009 at 1:15 PM Luis,
Is the color version coming soon as well?
Thank you,
Gabriel
Dec 3, 2009 at 6:37 PM The color version will be delayed for a while as the pricing on it is really expensive as of now. I am looking for alternatives, I might post it just in case somebody would like to purchase it, but as of now it would be above $100 for a copy as it is 412 pages in full color.
Dec 3, 2009 at 6:47 PM Wow. That is significant.
Just placed my order about a half hour ago. I figured color was just a luxury and I need to save my pennies. Especially with a 3.0 version in the works and two mystery books as possibilities. :-)

Dec 4, 2009 at 1:15 PM hmmm...when will the book on ColdBox 3.0 come out? I'm a bit wary of buying a book on ColdBox 2.6.3 with 3.0 on the horizon. Specially with so many changes coming in the new version.

The 3.0 version of the book won't be available for at least a year. Not until everything is stable and I can write documentation for it. So don't expect and update of the book until maybe this time in 2010.
Dec 8, 2009 at 1:12 PM Same here, was about to buy but the cost of shipping to the UK is far to high that's if I want the book this side of 2009! There seems to be a bunch of us from the UK that want to buy could you not find a cheaper service that's seems a tad high @ $40 for standard shipping is the book that heavy?
Dec 8, 2009 at 2:06 PM Yep. The distribution should get there soon enough, they have said 4-6 weeks from release date (last week). So I will keep pinging them to see when it goes to the UK stores.
Dec 8, 2009 at 2:46 PM Will you be putting this on O'Reilly Safari Books?
Thanks
Dec 10, 2009 at 12:34 PM What sort of timeframe are we looking at before its in the Amazon uk store?
Dec 11, 2009 at 7:34 AM @Luis,
Thanks for the info. I just ordered my copy.
Dec 14, 2009 at 9:37 AM I also would like to see it on O'Reilly's Safari Bookshelf as I have a subscription there!

May 11, 2010 at 5:02 PM Luis, I have a copy of the book, is there any way I could get the ebook version without spending another $39.99? Let me know. Thanks and God bless.
