Forward this announcement Hi there, Can you share this survey with your members if you think they'll be interested? If you've used our popular programming Cookbooks, you know just how useful they can be in helping you solve all kinds of programming problems. (And if you haven't used our Cookbooks, check them out on our website. You can download sample recipes by clicking on specific book titles and selecting "Sample Recipes.") We've received many requests for videos that present the Cookbook recipes step-by-step, so we recently created 4 sample clips that are available online. Now we're eager to gather your feedback. All you have to do is watch the sample video and tell us what you think about it. When you complete the survey, we'll automatically enter you into a special drawing.* Three winners will receive the opportunity to select a collection of O'Reilly ebooks valued at up to $200. *The drawing will be held on August 19, 2009. The winners will be notified via email. If we don't hear back from a winner within 14 days, the prize will be awarded to another survey respondent. Winners will have 90 days to make ebook selections.

Details follow. ---------------------------------------------------- Rule #1 of BarCamp: you DO talk about BarCamp. http://barcampgr.org/ We're proud to announce Grand Rapids' fourth BarCamp. BarCamp is a technology & design unconference where the campers (you) determine what's on the schedule. These ad-hoc unconferences are intense events with discussions, demos, and a chance to interact with fellow attendees. Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to participate. WHEN: Friday evening, August 21 and Saturday, August 22 WHERE: Calvin College -- DeVos Communications Center COST: Free! But everyone is encouraged to present something and be involved, even if you're never given a talk before. WHAT: ??? -- ultimately each camper has an opportunity to help determine the content.
