[squeak-dev] wikiserver 1.4.4 promo codes

johnmci
Apple approved WikiServer 1.4.4 for sale on the App store yesterday,  
as usual they have handed
us another 50 USA promo codes, so if there are people on the list that  
would like one or two, please
email me, not the list, a request.

I note these are for USA itunes customers, but there are ways for  
people to create a new dummy
itunes USA account with out supplying credit card information to  
redeem the promo code then
install the app on your device for a month of free usage.

Since we now support the ability to export the wiki data and run on a  
desktop version it's easy to preserve
any data for later importing into a purchased version.

John have you considered cashing in on the iPhone craze by writing a
book on how to program the iphone using Squeak?

Ah, my friends who write books tell me it's a tedious process and  
generally results in zero or negative income.
There are a few I know who have been wildly successful, but I"m afraid  
the topic won't sell much copy.

However I will talk about the process at ESUG in Sept, http://www.esug.org/Conferences/2009/Current+List+of+Talks/Smalltalk+on+iPhone
and again at the XTC group in London the week after http://xpday-london.editme.com/eXtremeTuesdayClub

Well, not being an author myself, I can't respond to that directly, but
I know that there are more reasons for writing books than simply cash
profit, though my choice of words above probably obscured that point.
