    There's a book (or software) promotion just about every week at CodeRanch. Just ask a question in the appropriate forum and you're eligible to win a copy of the book.
    We've got some promotions coming up. Check the book promo schedule.

    In honor of the holidays our last two book promotions were good gift ideas. You can see the winners below. Or you could buy a copy for the budding programmer in your life.

  • Hello Scratch! - for kids
  • Learn Java the Easy Way - through games!


  • We'll be kicking off the new year with
  • Architecting Modern Java EE Applications - Sebastian Daschner
  • Getting Started With the Spring Framework (Spring 5) - J Sharma & Ashish Sarin

  • B o o k . R e v i e w s


    We have a dedicated forum for book reviews. Please check out the latest reviews (also available on our book review grid: Book-Review-Grid). In fact, there's another good gift idea in there. Check out our review of Girls Who Code for any young females looking to start coding.

    Jeanne Boyarsky is a senior moderator at the Ranch. Along with Mala Gupta (another member here at CodeRanch and also an author) were included in this list of 10 talented women in the Java community. We were both honored to be included and it was like an early holiday present.
