Coding4Fun Book Contest Winner!

Posted March 2, 2009 4:28 AM Categories: Site News | Coding4Fun Book

imageIt’s time to announce the winner of my contest to win a copy of our Coding4Fun book!  15 people entered the contest via my forum.  I assigned each of them a 0-based index in the order in which they submitted their entry.  The final list was:

  • leif902 = 0
  • jcauble = 1
  • krakerjak = 2
  • RoryBecker = 3
  • amrkamel = 4
  • anonymous = 5
  • Arrowofdarkness = 6
  • qiuliocc = 7
  • hanan = 8
  • Amira = 9
  • helpware = 10
  • michaelb = 11
  • FunnyX = 12
  • John Bisschop = 13
  • juanformoso = 14
  • bringo = 15

Now, I did say you had to sign up using a valid user account, but the anonymous person linked to their blog which had contact info, so I decided to allow their entry in the mix….

To pick the winner, I wrote up a single line snippet in the ever-popular Snippet Compiler, pressed F5, and the result was…

That’s number 11, which indexes to michaelb and his winning post!  Thanks to everyone that entered for their support and kind words!

Brian,
  Sorry about that: I signed up, using my real name as a user name and giving an email address, and I thought I was good to go. I guess I should have filled out my user profile.

Well THANK YOU VERY MUCH

This is only the second thing that I have *ever* won and I'm really stoked to sit and read a great book.
Most of us sit at machines to read all day long but a real book - it is starting to be like a great homemade meal.

I promise the community at large to loan this book to a University prof, several high school teachers plus some coder friends to use it to stir up interest in making a computer do something new that *you* want.
After all who is running the show, all these machines and software, or us?

-MichaelB from Ontario Canada

Thanks again!
