[Announce] InformIT Supports Warpstock 2003

[Tim Cardozo]

=================================================================
InformIT is donating several excellent technical books to be
given away at this year's Warpstock convention.  InformIT is also
making available a special discount offer to Warpstock attendees
only.

Warpstock, Inc. wishes to express our gratitude for this great,
information rich, donation.

These great books come from publishers that are part of the
Pearson Education family of publishers including Prentice-Hall
and Addison-Wesley as well as one from IBM Press.

Eight lucky Warpstock attendees will walk away with one of these
great titles:

         - JavaScript by Example
         - UML for Java Programmers
         - Java Development on PDAs
         - JavaSpaces in Practice
         - Programming Wireless Devices with the Java 2 Platform
         - Applying Enterprise JavaBeans, Second Edition
         - JDBC API Tutorial and Reference, Third Edition
         - DB2 Universal Database V8

That's $370 worth of books to give away!  But, what about that
discount offer?

InformIT has provided, just for Warpstock attendees, the
opportunity to take advantage of a one-time 35% discount on an
entire purchase of books from any of Pearson Education's family
of publishers!  A special discount code, provided via a flier to
be distributed with the Warpstock registration packets, must be
used to get this great discount.  You could buy $300 worth of
books and cover the cost of Warpstock!

InformIT is a subsidiary of Pearson Education.  Their content
partners, also members of the Pearson Education family, include:
Addison-Wesley Professional, Cisco Press, New Riders, Peachpit,
Prentice Hall Professional Technical Reference, Que, and Sams.

Is that it?  Nope!  Esther and Bill Schindler are adding to this
trove of book give-aways as well!  Long-time OS/2 VIPs, Esther
and Bill are providing the following valuable books:

         - Down To Earth REXX, by Bill Schindler
         - The Essential Guide to Computing, E Garrison Walters
         - Patterns for eBusiness, user-to-business topology
           using WebSphere (IBM Redbook)
         - The OS/2 Debugging Handbook, Using the Debug Kernel
           and Dump Formatter -- 4 VOLUMES, 1-4 (IBM Redbooks)

That'll make four more lucky Warpstock attendees!  The person
who wins that last item (actually four books) will have a real
programmer's dreamkit.

Warpstock, Inc. wishes also to express our thanks to Esther and
Bill for their personal donation and to Esther personally for
going the extra mile by arranging the donation and discount
offer from InformIT.
