I was double-checking the user group discounts and seems that if we are outside N. America, so we cannot get UG discounts from Apress. I double-checked with someone from Apress, and he confirmed it. :(
Apologies for that not noticing the small print, but they did not mention it before registration, only afterwards. And only after I wanted to get a book as well. /// Vicky ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ http://irishbornchinese.com ~~ ~~ http://www.python.ie ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 4:17 PM, Vicky Lee <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > Got confirmation from Apress, we are in the listings: > http://www.apress.com/community/usergroupnarrow?type=country&id=IE > > See more information below... btw, if ppl want discount, just email me and > I will forward details regarding discounts on books. > > Cheers, > > /// Vicky > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > ~~ http://irishbornchinese.com ~~ > ~~ http://www.python.ie ~~ > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > > > Dear Vicky Lee, > > Thank you for registering Python Ireland with Apress! > In this message you will find: > > 1.
