We're proud to share an exciting milestone: Dargslan now features 150 published eBooks in our completely rebuilt store! This is more than just a number — it represents hundreds of hours of curating, organizing, and building a platform dedicated to IT professionals, developers, and sysadmins who want to sharpen their skills.
From Zero to 150: The Rebuilding Story
The Dargslan eBook store was rebuilt from the ground up using pure PHP and PostgreSQL, with a focus on performance, security, and user experience. Every page, every feature, and every book listing was crafted with care. Starting from an empty database, we methodically curated and published books across 40 categories — making this one of the most well-organized IT eBook collections available online.
This wasn't just about uploading files. Each book entry includes detailed metadata: proper categorization, author attribution, pricing, multiple download formats (PDF and EPUB for all 150 titles), sample previews, and SEO-optimized descriptions to help readers find exactly what they need.
