Chance to Win a Free Copy of Moock’s Essential ActionScript 3.0

General ActionScript 3.0

Note:  This contest has now ended, with results posted here.  Thanks for the post cards, everybody!

I’m an admirer of the clarity, thoroughness, and encouraging tone of Colin Moock’s books.  To that end, I pre-ordered his Essential ActionScript 3.0 (O’Reilly) long before it was available and was delighted when it arrived on my doorstep several months later.  Flash forward (pun) from that moment to just over a month ago, when I arrived in Boston for a terrific Flashforward conference.  Kevin Lynch, Adobe Chief Software Architect and keynote speaker, arranged to have a copy of Essential ActionScript 3.0 for every attendee, which was a fantastic and generous gift.  What that means is that I have a mint condition extra copy of Moock’s latest, and I’m happy to give it away.  I’ll pay shipping to anywhere in the world.

If you send me a post card and it gets here between now and November 15, 2007, I’ll have my three-year-old daughter, Meridian, choose randomly from the pile on that date.  I’m hoping three weeks gives everyone a fair chance, whether or not you’re in the US.  I’d love to hear about how this blog has helped you, if it has, but most importantly, I will of course need your return address, email address, or some other handy way to get your shipping address.
