Dear PLUG Members, The Second-annual OSCONtest for a sessions pass received three entries:
Docker: Up and Running (Paperback) David A Gibbons http://www.amazon.com/review/R1KLWZ4HAJGTGA Effective Modern C++: 42 Specific Ways to Improve Your Use of C++11 and C++14 Scott Meyers http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1326437454 Docker: Up and Running (Paperback) Scott Bigelow http://www.amazon.com/review/R3I23O2HMIQ6AX The panel of judges was disappointed by the small number of entries but was very impressed by the thoughtfulness of the reviews and were surprised that two were about the same timely book. Kudos to David for mentioning use of Docker at work and less-obvious things like Kindle highlighting. Kudos to Scott M. for recognizing the humor and clarity of the book, culminating with the ever-important "And now, after all these years, can finally say that I understand." And finally, kudos to Scott B. for the detailed list of key points and weaknesses and the poetic reference to the title, "...outlines what it takes to get Docker not just up, but running in production." This attention to detail even got the attention of the author, even though both he and David both pointed out small errors: "Thanks for the review, we really appreciate the feedback. We're on the typos and apologize for them slipping through." All things considered, the pass goes to Scott Bigelow for the structure and thoughtfulness of his review. David and Scott, M, if you attend the Expo Hall, please find me for a few on-site benefits. Great work and see you at OSCON!
