Better Backbone Applications With MarionetteJS Giveaway

This post serves a dual purpose: first of all it is to announce (to anyone who hasn’t see the original announcement on my social media accounts) that the book that I’ve been writing for the past year - that has kept me from more actively working with my blog - is finally finished! Second, I’m giving away 3 copies of that very same book! That’s right, I’m holding two giveaways at once: one for Backbone.js Patterns and Best Practices and one for my very one Better Backbone Applications with MarionetteJS!

Backbone.js Patterns and Best Practices Ebook Giveaway

The title may be a bit misleading. Yes, we’re having a giveaway, but we’re giving away so much more than just a copy of Backbone.js Patterns and Best Practices. I’m also giving away my personal computer, the rest of my physical book collection, all of my passwords for all of my online accounts, half of my income each month for the rest of my life, aaaannnddd you’ll take over as Google’s CEO. I hope that was sufficiently obvious that it was an April Fool’s joke, which of course is obligatory when posting on this day.

Giveaway: JavaScript From the Ground Up

On this site, I offer tutorials and articles to the public for no charge. There are many places you can go, though, that offer in-depth and very thorough tutorials for a fee. Of course, these charges are warranted. I could never put together something so complete without charging for it and there’s no way I’d demand someone else to do it either. Well, today I’m offering coupons to receive access to the “JavaScript Training from the Ground Up“ course on udemy.com for absolutely free (normally $35).

Win a $299 Wijmo License! Free Contest

I’ve talked about Wijmo here before, discussing the vast array of widgets that they provide to go above and beyond the jQuery UI library and allow you to easily create a rich user interface for your applications. Well, now I have a $299 commercial license that I’ve decided is more likely to be put to good use by one of my loyal followers (or a first-time visitor too I guess). Read on to see how you can win!
