We’re having a book contest!

For those that have purchased our new book, we’re having a giveaway, for one lucky reader who enters and wins. The prize? A brand new chumby to design & develop Flash Lite (3.x) widgets with!

You can pick up a copy of the book here, or order from Amazon.

Here are the rules for this contest:

UPDATE 8/18/2009: Having the book is a *requirement* to win! The lucky winner will be required to produce a picture of themselves with our book in hand!

1. Acquire AdvancED: Flash on Devices – Mobile Development with Flash Lite and Flash 10 (buy from Amazon, here).

2. Turn to page 209.

3. Find the 6th word on this page (HINT: the word rhymes with “tool”).

OR:

4b. Alternatively, you can snap a pic of the page in the book with you pointing at the word from step #4.

5. Goto to search.twitter.com and search on “chumbycontest”, to make sure your tweet appears in the timeline and is searchable for us to enter you into the lucky draw.

6. Wait until Sept 1, 2009 (EST, US) when we announce the lucky winner.

Disclaimer:

This contest is not affiliated with Friends of ED, or APress. 1 randomly picked winner will be selected on Sept 1st, 2009 (EST, US). Contest officially ends August 31, 2009 11:59 PM (EST, US). Multiple tweet answers will not be considered. Chumby color will depend on what’s in hand (probably black).
