Blogging leads to Free Book
This blogging thing rocks. Today I got one of the books I've been meaning to buy - for FREE! Check out the following e-mail I received from Manning:
Hello Matt:
We are contacting you regarding Vincent Massol's new book, JUnit in Action,
which Manning will be publishing in November. Vincent mentioned that you
might
be interested in certain parts of the book which relate to topics recently
discussed on your blog http://www.raibledesigns.com/page/rd. There is
a chapter on unit testing tag libraries.
He has asked us to offer you a complimentary copy of
the PDF ebook which just became available today. We hope you will
find it of interest.
Sweet! Thanks Vincent! I read the chapter on unit testing tag libraries - very clear and to the point. Unfortunately, for tags with bodies, you still have to verify HTML, so tagunit might be better for these. I like the coverage on the Maven Plugin for Cactus and also how to use JSTL's ExpressionEvaluatorManager for reading tag attributes. The link I found, the chapter has code samples.
I've never really liked eBooks, but I have to admit, this is pretty damn convenient. Especially since I tend to pack around 10-20 books to each new contract. What about sharing? Can I let co-workers borrow my PDF like I let them borrow my books?
