Finally...

A book that helps us better understand 

developer marketing

Only a few months ago I was looking around for resources to learn more about developer relations and marketing. I found nothing but a few websites where I could read short blurbs and articles about devrel, maybe watch some videos and talks, and follow links from one site to another. I wanted a book.
Thankfully, I didn't give up. The information in this book is required reading for anyone who wants to get the inside scoop on developer marketing. Hopefully they'll publish another with even more experts.

This collection of must-read chapters, each bringing a unique real-world perspective, is what every product marketing team should live by. Marketing to this target audience defies stereotypes and cohort clustering techniques but this book with the various strategies laid out by different companies, provides optionality for teams when they are trying to determine their approach (or soul searching on why things aren't working the way they "logically" thought).
