We still want to buy you books, and since this week O'Reilly is having a sale on resources about Git (our new version control system), we'll even buy you more than one of them if you spot stuff that you think will help :)

Browse the list of eligible titles (or the wider O'Reilly catalog) and if you'd like a copy of the book or the videos, let me know: we'll buy you that plus another title. (Maybe a book on Perl, or Javascript, or jQuery, or UI design, or or or...) I'm trying to figure out a way with O'Reilly that will make it easier for us to pay for ebooks that are then delivered to your O'Reilly account, but in the meantime, we can either do it where you buy it through your O'Reilly account so you can have future access to it and we'll write you a reimbursement check, or I buy it through my O'Reilly account with the DW card and send the file to you. Or you can get the hard copy, of course, if you don't want an ebook version; it's up to you.

Either way: let us buy you stuff! People have been really hesitant to take us up on this, but I promise you, we really want to, and if you meet the criteria (5 patches in last 12 months, at least one in the past two months), we mean you even if you think you haven't done 'enough'.

Okay then, yes please: I'd like Version Control With Git, because I suspect that is probably most appropriate for my current comfort levels ;)

Hmm. I have a book on Perl and a book on Javascript. JQuery might be REALLY useful, though - it's something that keeps coming up in patches I wanna handle and I keep therefore not doing them! So I guess jQuery UI looks useful?

I tend to prefer hard copy for reference; given UK, shipping, etc, what's your preferred way for me to do this?

And thank you <3 :-)

Whups, sorry, I forgot to specify -- please email me (denise@dreamwidth.org) with the titles you want and your address/etc for shipping. (I lose comments LIKE WHOA. Email stays in my inbox until it gets handled and therefore is less likely to get lost.)
