Small news to most, big news to me: The Software Engineer’s Guidebook is the best-selling tech book in Hungary, a few days after the Hungarian translation launched! (This is the 8th language it was translated to!) The best-selling list in the largest books retailer in the country: libri.hu/sikerlista/online-a…

The Software Engineers Guidebook (@EngGuidebook) was available in 7 additional languages till now (German, Japanese, Korean, Trad Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Mongolian, Russian): now out in Hungarian! Carried in all major bookstores in Hungary. Found it in a Libri in Veszprém:

I learned how The Software Engineer’s Guidebook (@EngGuidebook) ended up being translated to Mongolian: This engineer (Suiribaatar) bought the English version, liked it, and suggested to his company (Nasha Tech) to translate it. The company did it. You can just do things.

Pinch me: the Mongolian translation of The Software Engineer's Guidebook (@EngGuidebook) is ready. The book launch will be on Monday, in the capital, Ulaanbaatar. I'll be there!

Yes - @EngGuidebook as an audiobook available on all platforms, including Audible and a DRM-free purchase as well!

The German translation of @EngGuidebook is out this week: Kindle tomorrow (26 Nov) and print on Thursday (28 Nov). Holding a print copy that arrived: Proud to say this makes me an O'Reilly published author - five years after pitching this exact book to O'Reilly!

I always find specific examples make it easier to illustrate a point. This was why when talking about varied career paths in @EngGuidebook, I highlighted people who had this kind of variety (like @marktsimelzon has!)

WOW. Six months after release, @EngGuidebook has sold more than 25,000 copies. This is far beyond what I hoped for. The audiobook is now in the works, as well as translation into 7 languages. Thank you to everyone who has picked up a copy of the book (or the e-book!) 🙌

This year I'm a keynote speaker at @CraftConf on 30-31 May in Budapest, Hungary. My talk is "What is Old is New Again" and it's an overview of what has changed across tech the last years, and what it means looking ahead. We'll also have a book signing for @EngGuidebook there.

Look at what arrived. In the Netherlands, @bol_com is selling @EngGuidebook with next-day delivery (Bol is the “Dutch Amazon” - and a much bigger marketplace than Amazon NL). Very cool to see and than you @bol_com team!
