Hi Mongers
It appears that publishing houses are falling over themselves to
put free books in the hands of user groups. As evidence of this
phenomenom, I just received a parcel from the good folks at Addison
Wesley containing:
Title: Network Programming with Perl
Author: Lincoln Stein
ISBN: 0-201-61571-1
Publishers link: http://cseng.aw.com/book/0,3828,0201615711,00.html
This book gets an average of 5 stars on Amazon.com's
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201615711/
Now the catch ...
As our part of the bargain, Addison Wesley would like us to review
the book and 'publish' the review. Suggested avenues for
publishing include a message to a news group or a page on a web
site. We of course have a web site and a book review section
could be added fairly easily.
Now all we need is someone to review the book.
If you're interested in:
- Low level socket I/O
- Higher level IO::Socket and Net::Telnet interfaces
- FTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, NNTP
- HTTP and LWP
- Forking, threading, multiplexed an nonblocking I/O
- Tons of other networking and IPC topics
and can come up with a short review (within a month), drop me a
line and we'll get the book to you.
Regards
Grant
