| Packt Publishing is giving away a free book this weekend. All you have to do is register an account. No credit card needed. The home page is here: http://www.packtpub.com/ And the Monkey programming book is here: http://www.packtpub.com/monkey-2d-game-development-beginners-guide/book Currently the servers appear to be overloaded, but hopefully sometime in the next couple of days it will lighten up. You can choose any book from their library. |
| ||
| If you can, please use this link to sign up there (when the serverload is lower): http://bit.ly/RXnAMc Cheers Michael |
| ||
| Hopefully Michael still gets a cut. :) |

| They said that they split 30000 between all books that are downloaded. But it will ne calculatrd against my advance anyway, so it doesnt matter. But i think it is great to be able to get a free book. |
| ||
| Seems to be working now. My free eBook was a Unity 3D Essentials book for Unity3D Engine. Oh! I already own the Monkey Book. |
| ||
| How did you were able to get the book? I just saw that link to claim one. But still got no confirmation about a gift code or something like that. |
| ||
| Ok, saw it now. First when I claimed it it was just a form where I could enter email and password. Now I get to the library. |
| ||
| It is confusing. It took me awhile to get it figured out. You have to go to the library, open the book that you want and then download it from there. |
| ||
| The site is saturated. Got a mail telling me that they'll give a free week of access and one free ebook. Damn, next week end then :-( |
| ||
| Hi, I've registered an account but the 'Free ebook download' button is greyed out. Do I have to do something else to enable the download? |
| ||
| Like Why0Why said :-) |
| ||
| When I first tried it using Chrome the page display was a little garbled. The text entry boxes didn't quite match up with their labels and the "Register" button wasn't visible. Things went much more smoothly with Internet Explorer. |
| ||
| Still not working for me. I've logged in, loaded the library, selected the book but the download link is grayed out. |
| ||
| Guess you have to contact PacktPub then. When you say selected the book. Does it mean that its content loaded so you can browse it there? |
| ||
| Hi Mike, Yes, the library is loaded so that I can browse the book. |
| ||
| Same problem here. Content loaded but the download button still greyed out |
| ||
| Contact PacktPub, that is all I can say. |
| ||
| I just downloaded your book Mike, this is great, good stuff! |
| ||
| got my book thanks for pointing this out. |
| ||
| You're welcome! |
| ||
| Got it too. Good stuff in there! |
| ||
| The offer has been extended until Friday. |
| ||
| Really? I cant see it in the free books under my account. And if I search for it in their library, pull it up there is no download button. Just buttons for viewing sample chapter and TOC |
| ||
| Log in to your account at any point this week. You will then be able to enter PacktLib, through which you can browse our books and select a free eBook to download. |
| ||
| Cool book, thx for news =) thx for the book |
| ||
| Finally managed to download my free book today (Monkey Game Development Beginners Guide). Thanks to Mike for the book and the help in downloading the book. I just need some time to read it now. |
| ||
| the Monkey programming book is NOT FREE |
| ||
| It was free during that period cause Packtpub gave ALL their ebooks away for free. |
| ||
| the Monkey programming book is NOT FREE You realize that they said "giving away a free book this weekend", and that this thread is a YEAR old? |
