Hey guys!

After hundreds of hours spent on answering questions [on Stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/users/8160318/joe-sorocin?tab=answers), I observed a few barriers of entry that ES newbies struggle with. It's first and foremost the formidable query language.

**Now, most of us learn a new technology by reverse-engineering what works elsewhere.** So I've published a handbook with carefully curated, practical examples that demystify the query language and offer a solid foundation to build on — **[https://elasticsearchbook.com](https://elasticsearchbook.com)**

Hope it helps!

Best regards,  
Joe

P.S. I'm new to the forum and hope this is the right group to post this into?
