The new Pickaxe II book is a reality!

[Roeland Moors]

Mine is 5.776.818 Bytes. And it's not only huge, it's also great! ;-)

Oops, mine was 47Mb, I saved it wrong with gv.
Now it is a not so huge but great pdf

 

[Daniel Berger]

PickAxe II is now officially available!

If someone has had time to officially "review" this book, a Slashdot
submission would be some nice extra press for the book.

That's a spectacular idea. Any volunteers?

When I get mine in the mail, I was thinking of posting one somewhere
anyway.
But I think anyone who wants to should write up their review and submit
it, then let the /. editors choose. The various online stores (Amazon,
BN) could always use a few reviews

Just don't post any links to slashdot to DDoS sites with K? Its
basically for the ubber kiddies. The amazon, and other book review sites
should be better to post reviews. It'll be better for the community.

I think the point of submitting book reviews to slashdot is, that they
store them as articles on-site, ie. you don't need to link to other
sites. I agree, it would be a tactical mistake to stuff an article in
ruby-garden, then body-slam it with a slashdot post.

If anyone did want to post a /. review, then it'd be fine to link to

That's got some spare bandwidth. Andy and my individual blogs don't (at
the moment).
