In order to win the book , we must ask questions in this forum to the authors .You need to know the subject in order to ask something valid . For that you would have already owned a couple of books .
Yes.Its catch-22 situation folks . ( Or comeup with really dumb questions in order to get as many entries possible to win the book ) .

I am also playing this game by asking very general questions as I dont know a lot about EJB 3.0 . Now I am running out of questions . I have just downloaded TOPLINK from Oracle and started playing with it in my free time, which i dont have much . so few entires in the forum and hence less chance to win.

As some folks would say ,
"Rich gets Richer and Poor gets poorer."

If you're asking questions just to get a free book you're asking questions for the wrong reason...

Yes. Authors are kind enough to spend there time here for a week, so it's a good occasion to ask them about technologies they're mastering.

Don't feel terrible. If you want to learn it, go hard for it.

But if you think that you are not going to use it or don't have time to learn it at least in next one year - coz there will be more and better books coming out - I believe one will be promoted here , don't bother to post questions.

cheers

More books, I can believe. Better books? That I find hard to believe...
 
Do the next thing next. That’s a pretty good rule. Read the tiny ad, that’s a pretty good rule, too.
