Win A Book Apart

HTML5 For Web Designers

Now through May 27, when you use Gowalla on your iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Palm Pre, or iPad to discover and share places with your friends, you might win a copy of Jeremy Keith’s HTML5 for Web Designers.

How it works couldn’t be simpler. If you aren’t already a player, download Gowalla. Then, when using Gowalla to check into a location, if you find the HTML5 for Web Designers book item, just add it to your collection. On Thursday, May 27, ten random people who picked up copies of the item will be chosen to receive the actual book.

Happy hunting and good luck!

    LOL I won one of these a couple of weeks ago when I checked into Barnes and Nobles…I wondered what it was!

    A wee bit of a disappointment for those of us that don’t have the aforementioned devices.

    If someone were to spoof the user-agent, would that disqualify? : )

    Well, you can always buy the book. ;)

    Do want!

    Curious though, was this an idea proposed originally by Happy Cog, or Alamo Fire? Or both?

    Hint for those of you who don’t have your copies yet: they’re more likely to show up at book and technology stores ;)

    That would be telling.

    Okay, this was the one thing that suckered me into finally trying out Gowalla.
