This contest is now closed. Congratulations to
Mark Cohen for winning the hard copy, and
Nick Stevens for winning the E-Pack.
As many of you know, this is a book that I helped co-author with Estelle Weyl and Alexis Goldstein. You can read a full description along with table of contents on the SitePoint page linked above.
Here’s a brief description of the book:
“HTML5 & CSS3 for the Real World will show you how to create dynamic websites using these new technologies. No fluff or hype here – only fun, effective techniques you can start using today. This easy-to-follow guide covers everything you need to know to get started today. You’ll master the new semantic markup available in HTML5, as well as how to use CSS3 without sacrificing clean markup or resorting to complex workarounds.”
And here are the rules for the contest:
1. Tweet a Link to This Post
Yeah, I know, you don’t want to share this post, because that means you’ll have a lower chance of winning. But you know how it goes, it’s free advertising for me, and it makes the contest all the more exciting! :)
The tweet must contain the following text:
Book Giveaway: HTML5 & CSS3 for the Real World (via @ImpressiveWebs)
Plus a link to this post. A short link is fine, as long as the link goes here.
2. Post a Comment With a Link to Your Tweet
Naturally, you have to prove that you tweeted the article. So you need to find a direct link to your tweet and post it here in the comments. I’ll be sure to check the spam comments so nothing gets filtered out.
Keep in mind that the link to your tweet cannot just be a link to your Twitter account, it must be a link to the individual tweet. In the last giveaway, a few people didn’t get this right. So make sure. On Twitter.com, an individual tweet is found by clicking “open” then “details”. It looks like this.
Only one entry allowed per person.
3. Use a Valid Email Address in Your Comment
If you don’t use a valid email address, then I can’t contact you. So make sure your email address is correct so I can contact you if you win.
Hard Copy and E-Pack Versions
As mentioned, I have two copies of the book to give away. One is a hard copy that I will mail anywhere in the world, using cheap shipping. And the other is an E-Pack version, which includes PDF, MOBI, and EPUB versions of the book.
If the winner of the hardcopy would prefer an E-Pack version, then I’ll ask the winner of the E-Pack if they want to swap. If not, then I’ll gladly give away an extra E-Pack to the winner of the hard copy. So I may give away three copies, it just depends on what the winners prefer.
Two Weeks’ Notice
I’ll give the post two weeks to collect entrants, then I’ll pick two comments at random using a random number generator. The first one I pick will win the hard copy.
From time to time, I will do other book giveaways for quality design and development titles, so be sure to subscribe to one of my feeds to know when these contests are posted:
