Packt Publishing giving away free ebooks

I have been informed that as a celebration of completing 5 years, Packt Publishing are giving away free ebooks to everyone interested.

I am just spreading the word here. Below is the original press release.

Five years ago, Packt published its first book, Mastering phpMyAdmin for Effective MySQL Management. In the years that followed, Packt has published over 200 books on many different subjects and technologies.

We think it’s important to take the time to celebrate and thank the people who have made this possible. Therefore as our way of saying thank you for your support over the last five years, we have decided that over the next few weeks, Packt will be offering new and existing customers’ five exclusive offers.

The PEAR Installer Manifesto is one of the eBooks that we are offering to our readers. This book shows users the power of this code management and deployment system to revolutionize their PHP application development.

To download a free PDF copy of this book, simply visit http://www.packtpub.com/account and login to your account, or create one if you donít already have one, and scroll down to your download area. Here you will see a link to the eBook, which you can download as many times as you like. In addition to this book, you can also download other eBooks on various technologies for free.

So, after being a MAC user for over 6 months, I finally decided to brush up my Mac skills . Till now, I have only been using some basic things like Firefox, Safari, iTunes, Eclipse, CF, SVN, and other basic stuff. Now, I want to go one step ahead and dive into the real power of Mac. Probably try and get used to the Terminal window.

Which is why, I just ordered this book : Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual . I have read the book’s reviews and it looks like a good book for beginners/switchers like me.  Anyone already read this book and can give me a heads up?
