First a big thank you to Kathy and Bert for being here to answer our questions and talk about their book. Of course, they do that every week but they don't give away copies of their book every week! Speaking of which, the four lucky winners are:
Pourang Emami
Ko Ko Naing
viswanadh kasinadhuni
Mikalai Zaikin

Congratulations! Send me your snail mail address and I will get a book sent out to you.
If you didn't win, don't fret. There's always next week when we are giving away four copies of "JUnit in Action" by Vincent Massol.

Congratulations!! Whoo-hoo!
Really, though, everyone here participated so much, we really appreciate it, and hope that everyone learned at least a *little* something they might not have known before. I know *I* did.
And thanks Thomas for the whole book giveaway thing.
And yes, as Bert mentioned, there will be another contest to come on this book, so stay tuned...
cheers and thanks again,
-- now let's get everyone ready for the exam

Thanks for all the questions!

Thank you very much, Thomas... This is the first time that I win a giveaway book from JavaRanch.com... It's very fun to participate in the promotion and I did have a chance to help in the book promotion of my favourite author...
Thank you again...

Thanks! :blush: The worst part is that I'm not eligible to win since I run the promotions.

Winners are chosen randomly from the participants. We have a program that does this.

Congrats too the winner, you guys are very lucky.
I am looking for the book at my bookstores but haven't found them on the shelves yet. When should they be there?
I know this is probably answered somewhere else, and I will go look for it, but right now I am lazy.
