Just make sure you use a throw-away email address... Sitepoint will spam you like crazy. No such thing as a free lunch :-)

- modoc 16y agoFWIW: I built 10 Minute Mail and am happy to answer any questions about it.
- mhd 16y agoThought so myself, so I used mailinator. The book looks cute, though, despite my unfettered hatred for the Ninja term (don't get me wrong, I lurve ninjas, but programmers are neither Japanese assassins nor famous musicians). Rather generious formatting, though. Printed, this would be one of those books that could've been done with half the pages and still be as readable. (And for online reading, who needs margins and reference sections?)
- babyboy808 16y agoAs a Sitepoint subscriber for about 5 years now, no they don't.
- telemachos 16y agoI don't subscribe, but I've given them my email a handful of times to receive free samples of books. (They're extremely generous with this. In a couple of cases, they sent easily half a book as a free sample.) My experience has been that they're on the low-volume end of the "we have your email" spectrum. Not nothing, but not hideous.
- JenSheahan 16y agoGlad to hear you feel this way. Spam is not good. Thanks! Jen (sitepoint.com)
- jacksoncarter 16y agoI've subscribed to their forums with an email that I link to them, so I know for a fact that they spam. They also write articles that are really paid for ads, so the shady meter for sitepoint.com is over toward the orange side of the scale... but, you know... you gotta make money I guess.
- andrewtj 16y agoDo you have 'Receive Email from Administrators' enabled on your account? I do, which is I assume why they occasionally email offers and is also why I don't consider them spammers. I do agree with you that their content has slipped in recent years though.

- lakeeffect 16y agoThats not as big of a problem, as if; the Adobe pdf they sent has security violations.
- baddox 16y agoBetter yet, just go to mailinator and check the "sitepoint" inbox. There's already 3 links sent there, thanks to the efforts of others!
