My mac's broken, so I've been going through some archive podcasts on my ipod, as I haven't got any new ones. At the end of a quite old (I think) RoR podcast <font size="-1">Geoffrey Grosenbach mentioned about a deal he was doing with User Groups, something along the lines of offering a free episode to everyone.
<br>Did anyone pick up on this?<br><br>James Darling<br><a href="http://abscond.org">http://abscond.org</a><br></font><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 04/04/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">David Townsend</b> <<a href="mailto:toonsend@gmail.com">

peepcode.com</a> for people looking to widen their<br>rails skills. The site has hour long lessons made by the Ruby on<br>Rails podcaster Geoffrey Grosenbach. You have to pay but each one is<br>well worth the $9.<br><br>
The testing and REST ones are excellent but they're all very<br>professional and the teaching systematic and organised.<br><br>I have no connection to the site btw, it's just a recommendation.<br><br>David<br><br>
