Nowadays, many manufacturers have published books. When will TiDB also publish a book? For example, “TiDB Database Source Code Analysis,” “PingCAP Database TiDB Programming,” “TiDB Database Operations Practice,” “TiDB: From Beginner to Expert.”
For example, TIDB database source code analysis. TIDB database operation and maintenance practice.
No way, no way, are there still people who don’t know that TiDB has a monthly newsletter? 
Isn’t searching the official website faster than flipping through a book?
He wants to systematically study, @TIDB-Learner suggests you watch videos for learning, it’s faster than reading books…

For learning, the official documentation, learning videos, and community forum content are all very comprehensive.
However, when it comes to books, one advantage is that they can be kept for reading and can be given as gifts to industry friends.
The official website actually has very detailed resources, which absolutely meet the learning needs of different levels. If publishers release books, there will be more choices. In this regard, Dameng has done the best by collaborating with schools to publish books. A quick search online will yield a bunch of results, which are almost like the official documentation. They are divided into several levels. Other manufacturers are also doing well, with publications in 2023. 
There is official documentation, why do you need books? Books carry the author’s own understanding, which may deviate from the original source. Books related to source code analysis can be worth a look, to compare and debug as you get started. If you know Go, TiDB is definitely worth researching, it will improve your skills significantly.
Of course, it’s best to have some physical books to place on the table.
You can learn Oracle with a “Administrator’s Guide” and a “Performance Tuning” book.
Aren’t the free official documentation, videos, and monthly newsletters better than the smell of books? 
There are quite a few good videos on the official website. It would be great if they were available for free.
Are there corresponding books for the certification exam? Isn’t it just the recommended videos or something?
Most of it is free, and other parts can be redeemed through community points. Reading and understanding this content is already quite good.
Yes, the videos for points redemption seem quite attractive.
