Want to Win a Copy of my Book Beginning ASP.NET 4 in C# and VB?

I still have a number of copies of my latest book Beginning ASP.NET 4 in C# and VB waiting on my desk for someone to read them. Want to win a copy?

Then Follow me on Twitter and Tweet about this Giveaway

I'll give away one copy of my book for every 50 new followers on Twitter while supply lasts. All you need to do is follow me on Twitter, tweet about this action and then send a tweet mentioning @ImarSpaanjaars with a short message on explaining why you want or need the book.

If you are already following me on Twitter and want to participate, just tweet about this action and send a message that contains @ImarSpaanjaars detailing why you want the book.

In both cases, mention @ImarSpaanjaars and the URL of this page (http://bit.ly/c4Yjzy in your tweet.

I'll draw a winner from each 50 new (or existing) followers at the end of August 2010. If you've won, I'll DM you for a shipping address and ship the book to you.

I understand this makes an easy way to cover the give away of your books and helps create a strong following for you as an author but for those of use who, for one reason or another, do not use Twittter nor have time for it, seems like there should have been an alternative to twitter. Our loss it would appear.

Hi James,

Yes, true. It was meant as a Twitter-only action, with just an article here to back up the idea. Might be a good reason to start using Twitter? ;-)

Anyway, I've added you to the list, provided you respond to step 3 of the giveaway conditions.... ;-) You can use plain e-mail for that if you like.

Cheers,

Imar

Hi Wilson,

Yes, I know, I saw it. But I didn't say they were the only ones; I said they were one of the few that sent me a message....

How many winners did you expect?

Buddy,

Well, I just started working on .NET specifically in C#. I found your site very useful and on every Google search, your site is rated in first 10. And most of the time, i do get answer as well. I looked at your articles and found V V knowledgeable.

About contest for the free books, I would love to pay double to get your book. but still believe in concept on open-knowledge and hope you keep pouring your knowledge in the ocean of excellence.

This reasoning makes no sense at all. There's no such thing as a free lunch, and even with "open knowledge" bills need to be paid. I can only do the free stuff on my web site because others are willing to pay me for my other work.

So, if you're true to your word and "would love to pay double to get your book", go get your copy on Amazon now: http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-ASP-NET-4-C-VB/dp/0470502215/ You only need to pay it once.... ;-)

Cheers,
