International Day Against DRM Rails Tutorial discount

As a counter-point to the grandparent, this discount convinced me to purchase. I hadn't heard about the previous discounts.

I bought the bundle. I didn't buy it before because I'm not yet certain when/if I'm going to learn Ruby on Rails. Currently learning Python and web programming with Udacity, and finishing up some other projects.

But I'd heard such good things about your book that I had already planned to buy if I ever committed to learning Rails.

This discount tipped me over the edge. Having the book + screencasts on hand is a strong inducement to work through them, and 40% is too good an offer to pass up.

In my mind it hasn't reduced the value of the book at all. A discount for a special occasion seems distinct from a discount for other reasons. I saw all the other discounts on the HN front page and mentally lumped them together with yours.

Thanks for the data point (and for the purchase!). I hope you have a chance to learn Rails. Python is great, but Ruby is better (IMHO) at making DSLs, which is a big win in web development (among other places). Please let me know how it goes.
