#2In isolation because of Corona last year, I started to share many lesser-known database tricks I know on Twitter (@tobias_petry). Although I thought that only a few people would be interested in something like this, it became a matter of course over the months. Meanwhile, thousands follow me to read my database tips or news.
Since every message in the constant social media stream vanishes after a few days, I had to do something about it. Knowledge must be preserved. I sat down for a few weeks and reworked every example and every text to create an ebook that you can read in an evening and still impart tons of knowledge.
And so "Next-Level Database Techniques for Developers" was born.

You are not alone. Databases are so easy to use, and that is very good! But due to that simplicity most devs never learn more than the basic statements, but there is so much more that can be used.

May I suggest providing a sample chapter before requiring an email address?
EDIT: There are 10 sample pages (images) but on Firefox they are so small you might not notice them. The pages are in a row flexbox container which on Chrome overflows with a scrollbar but on Firefox scales all the way down to fit everything in view at once. Please add "min-width: 45%" in addition to the "width: 45%". Accessibility would also require links to the textual versions.
