WoWInterface to raffle off WoW programming books
Ever wanted to make your mark in the WoW community? Want to see your handiwork featured in our Reader UI of the Week? Or maybe you've always dreamed of an frameset with a Hello Kitty theme?Well, WoWInterface's new raffle might just give you that chance. WoWInterface is an addon download site, brought to you by the parent company that runs Allakhazam, Thottbot, and Wowhead. They announced yesterday in their forums that every Sunday for the next five weeks they'll be raffling off two copies of World of Warcraft Programming: A Guide and Reference for Creating WoW Addons.
And, no, it's not some dusty old tome they are trying to unload because Mom wants them to clean up their rooms. The book was published May 5, 2008, less than a month ago. It normally lists for $39.99, so this is a great way to get started on your new addon-writing career and save some money at the same time. Or just get something for free and make some stuff.
The best part is, even though the book's authors are addon pros James Whitehead II, Matthew Orlando and Bryan McLemore, this book is written in such a way that you need no programming knowledge to get started writing your own WoW addons. To enter the raffle, all you need to do is register for a WoW Interface account and make sure your real email address is on your account. They'll be pulling the winners from the list of members. For more details, see the raffle rules.
Good luck and write some good addons for us to review!

Seriously, the book looks interesting and I should definitely look for it, but I'm here to rant against LFG. LFG is so damn overrated and now the comic is this messy, terrible fan service thing that is in love with every single cleche known to medievil fantasy. I especally hate the bland "look at me, I'm dead and I love to kill stuff" warlock just pisses me off.

Cladhaire's post was removed? o_O I believe Cladhaire wrote a part of this book.

I believe the comment was eliminated because the changes were made to the original post to reflect Cladhaire's corrections.
