Never Buy Another Tech Book Again!
Tech books are expensive! Averaging between $30 and $50 bucks a piece, they are equivalent to a month or two of quality shared web hosting. And if the price wasn’t bad enough, they have a limited shelf life. You only have a certain amount of time to read and digest them before they become door stops. New techniques are discovered and new versions are released which make all your current or old books out dated and potentially irrelevant. I have discovered a better way to gain access to the latest tech books for a fraction of the cost. In this post I will introduce you to Safari Books Online and what it has to offer.
CI 1.7.0 Released
The folks over at EllisLab have released CodeIgniter 1.7.0. The highlight of this release appears to be a brand new validation library as well as a number of other enhancements and bug fixes. Check out the change log for more information then download the latest. On another note, I know it’s been quiet here for the last month or so. I have been trying to get BadgeTracker 4.0 in shape for an early November release so I’ve been heads down coding. More soon…
