British bookseller hides reading list for developers in its website source code

• sirwolfgang 12y ago
  I always like finding stuff like this. Imgur has a really good ascii art job advert that shows up in the JS console.

    Haha, that is cool.

    As of yesterday the New York Times had a great ascii version of their abbreviated 'T' logo, and the text "All the code that's fit to printf()", along with a "we're hiring!" message. They must have filled the position, though, because the advert is now gone.

• yaddayadda 12y ago
  1. If a customer is looking for books, they're probably not going to be looking in the code. 2. If someone is looking in the code, they're probably ready for books beyond "HTML & CSS". 3. The urls aren't hyperlinked, so readers have to copy-paste. 4. The two books I bothered to copy-paste both report, "Not in our warehouse". One of them further reports that "We can order it, but could take up to 3 weeks". The big-A can have it to me in 3 days, two of which are the weekend.
  • mistro 12y ago
    Your second point is off the mark - I teach a load of kids (12-16 years old or so) who know all about pressing F12 and looking at source code, but who know next to nothing more about HTML, CSS, Python etc. Whether or not they'd be interested in reading a book when you can just watch it on Youtube is another matter entirely!

  The hidden comments copy-n-pasted into this thread are darkweb content -- by my favorite definition, anyway: that content which is on the public internet but isn't index or linked to: you have to have the address to pull it up. Take a good long look at some of the comments here before the next time you copy and paste. Those things you found were put there for YOU, nobody else.
