Be careful with that, you can't re-sell the books, since they're donations.  But if you want to sell off raffles and the win a "free" prize which is a book of their choice, then it's all good :-> <div>On 8/9/07, Richard A.

Marsee from O'Reilly wanted me to pass on the following to everybody. I guess this is all a part of being a member of their group. Pretty soon I am hoping to get some books in so we can start doing reviews. Especially for the CoDLUG, these books could come in handy to possibly raise funds in the future. Thanks everyone! ----------  Forwarded Message  ---------- Subject: UG News--Introducing <a href="http://beautifulcode.oreillynet.com"> beautifulcode.oreillynet.com</a> Date: Wednesday 08 August 2007 From: "Marsee Henon" <<a href="mailto:marsee@oreilly.com">marsee@oreilly.com</a>> To: <a href="mailto:nixternal@ubuntu.com">nixternal@ubuntu.com </a> Hi, Can you share the following news with your members? And we're still looking for someone to submit a slashdot review. Let me know if you need a copy. Thanks for your help, Marsee O'Reilly's created a brand new website devoted to the topics in our new book "Beautiful Code" at <a href="http://beautifulcode.oreillynet.com">http://beautifulcode.oreillynet.com</a>. We give you the opportunity to discuss the book's projects and to contribute information about other projects that illustrate coding artistry. The lead programmer for the Beautiful Code website is Michael Feathers, a popular author and expert in Agile Programming who contributed the chapter "Framework for Integrated Test: Beauty through Fragility." In a recent post, Feathers writes: "When I was a younger programmer, I felt guilty about being a neat-freak. It was a selective obsession. There I was, sitting in my office with stacks of papers and books covering every available space, but I was oblivious to it. As long as my code looked great, I could shut out the chaos around me: the towering stacks of dead tree that could've toppled and crushed me if I had sneezed." Feathers continues, "I don't know why I felt bad about being that way, but in retrospect, I think that I felt that I was wasting time caring about neatness in code. It took me a couple of years to figure out that the ergonomics of code matter, and that the time you spend decluttering your code can declutter your thoughts as well."
