Fantastic offer – 5 books for the price of 1

How would you like 5 of SitePoint’s rather fine technical publications for just $29.99 US? Sounds like an absolute bargain, doesn’t it? Well, it is a deal not to be missed and you have 3 days to make the most of it. So get to it!

Visit SitePoint’s 5-for-1 sale here

As a SitePoint author whose books are on this list, it’s money out of my pocket, frankly, so why should I be so happily promoting it? Simple – the money is going into the pockets of people who need it a hell of a lot more than I and the other SitePoint authors and employees need it right now!. As some of you might know, SitePoint is based in Melbourne, Australia where – at the time of writing – bush fires are still raging and have claimed entire towns with the loss of life currently put at 170 people. This figure will rise.

A fire truck looks insignificant against the raging fires nearby

I know that some of the people at SitePoint have been personally affected, losing friends in the fires, so this should not be seen as a publicity stunt in any way shape or form – this was simply something that they could do to raise some money quickly and easily to support the victims of this tragic incident. I’m only too happy to help promote this and am going to be blogging this anywhere I can, Twittering where I can – and there’s nothing to stop you doing the same!

$30 for five books is an absolute steal. Go on, buy some books and that will be another $30 going directly towards the victims – SitePoint are taking no money from this whatsoever.

Thanks.

    Dear SitePoint authors,

    it is always a very good idea to donate some money to victims. In these times, people who lost everything will be thankful for everything they get!
    Altruism became a foreign word for many people, but I do not understand why!

    I had a very lovely childhood and my parents showed me how to behave fair in our community! Actually everyone is bound in honor and I appreciate if everyone does his best to solve problems of other people( only in happenings like in Australia)!

    Please follow the Message!
