I'm running a monthly blogging contest in conjunction with Apress. You can see the initial announcement here:
and the announcement for this month's contest here: On Ruby: Win Books By Blogging
The short version is this, each month, I'm posting a blogging challenge
from an Apress author and collecting urls to blog posts responding to the challenge. After three weeks an Apress editor, an Apress author, and I will judge the entries and pick a winner. The winner will receive three books of their choice from Apress and/or their Friends of ED imprint.
