About the Book
Bad error handling is one of the main reasons for bugs and critical incidents as shown by studies again and again. Most programming languages have only a short introduction on how they support handling errors and do not go deeper into how to use those features. "Handling Errors" shows most error handling mechanisms that exist in programming languages and helps developers handle errors in a proper way for fewer bugs and more happiness. Because who wants to spend time fixing bugs?

We pay 80% royalties on purchases of $7.99 or more, and 80% royalties minus a 50 cent flat fee on purchases between $0.99 and $7.98. You earn $8 on a $10 sale, and $16 on a $20 sale. So, if we sell 5000 non-refunded copies of your book for $20, you'll earn $80,000.
(Yes, some authors have already earned much more than that on Leanpub.)
In fact, authors have earned over $15 million writing, publishing and selling on Leanpub.
