Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2013 12:05:30 +0100 From: Tom Verhoeff Subject: 2IP15, PDF edition of Programming in the Large with Design Patterns Message-ID: <20130308110530.GC17171@win.tue.nl> To: Participants of 2IP15 (Programming Methods) with some activity in peach [Email addresses suppressed] Yesterday, in the meeting with second-year students coordinated by Gewis, I found out that delivery through Gewis of the print edition of Programming in the Large with Design Patterns by Eddie Burris was not only delayed, but in fact canceled. Since payments for orders with Amazon.de are not so easy (if you do not have a credit card), many students still do not have the book. I contacted the author, and he offers a DRM-free PDF edition for 2 euro. I have asked Gewis to handle the logistics (not yet confirmed). The author, Eddie Burris, tries to keep the price of the book as low as possible, but even producing a PDF version has its costs. For comparison: the Nook edition by Barnes & Nobles costs USD 2.99 and the Kindle edition by Amazon costs USD 3.85. Contact Gewis to show that you are interested.
