Packt Publishing, a publisher of technical computer/Internet books, has a 24-day Christmas ebook daily giveaway going on right now. This is day 20, with the promotion running, then, for four more days. Today's freebie is
Python Testing: A Beginner's Guide. The retail price is $23.99.
Follow this link to get the book, and check it each day to see what's free for those days:
https://www.packtpub.com/packt/offer...tmas-countdown. To get the book free, you will need to have an "account" with Packt, but I think that all that is required to set it up is to provide an email address and password.
(I don't know when each "day" begins and ends, in Packt's way of reckoning (I do wish that all of these companies offering deals on one or more particular days would tell us what time zone that they consider the day(s) to fall within!). Packt's home office is in Birmingham, UK., I don't know if the promotion goes by the time there or not. One thing tells me that it might: I'm on the east coast of the U.S. and it is December 19 now. Packt is calling this "day 20" of the promotion. At the time of day that it is now (10:13 p.m. Eastern), the U.K. is already on December 20.)
As far as I'm concerned, I won't get the book, even though it's free. No siree. I don't plan on testing any pythons. And I don't plan on testing any anacondas, or any other snakes either, for that matter. If you choose to do so, that is your business, but
please do be careful--we don't want to lose your presence on the Mobileread site! (ha!)
