How do you win? Apress has a fun puzzle for you to solve: the Apress User Group Puzzler. And the catch is that you are going to create the puzzle. (Please share this announcement with ALL registered members of your user group.) Here's how it works: The entire month of April, we're sponsoring a promotion open to participation from all Apress registered user group members who reside in the United States and Canada. The competition involves creating a small crossword puzzle. By May 27, 2005, Apress will notify the chosen winner by e-mail. Please create a five-up/five-down crossword puzzle incorporating ten different Apress and friends of ED author last names (no first names allowed; last names only). You can easily create clever questions by browsing through both of our websites, www.apress.com and www.friendsofed.com. When you're ready to submit your puzzle, visit the Apress User Group Puzzler submission page, http://www.apress.com/userGroups/crosswordpuzzle.html. Here's a sample question: "A Yale graduate, and project manager for the Microsoft Excel developer team, he 'blogs' his way to fame." (Answer: Spolsky). See-it'll be fun to create your own Apress Puzzler! Rules and other details: Participants must be 18 years of age or older. Only one puzzle submission per person. Puzzles must be written in English. Promotion is open to participation from all Apress registered user group members who reside in the United States and Canada. Puzzles must be submitted by April 30, 2005.
