[Romuald Angbele]

Bonjour cher membre du GDG,

je vous transfère le mail d'un GDG qui a écrit un livre sur Google Cloud Plateform. N’hésitez pas à vous le procurer.

Dear GDG,

I am Kris from GDG Singapore.

I am happy to let you know that I have co-authored my first book (along with Jose in Cc) and it is on "Google Cloud Platform". Both of us are Google Developer Experts in Google Cloud Platform as well.

This is the first book that comprehensively covers the entire Google Cloud Platform and the book was published at Google IO 2015 on May 29 2015. It is our interest to get as many people educated on Google Cloud Platform asap. Hence we wrote this book, in our private time, for accelerating towards to meet this end goal. Here are the details.

Title: Building Your Next Big Thing with Google Cloud Platform

ISBN: 978­1­4842­1005­5

Publisher: Apress

The eBook version of this book sells for USD28, before taxes. As you have put in countless number of hours in building the Google Developer Groups worldwide, we decided to give this book away for FREE to all GDG chapter leads. Please know that this is a decision taken by the authors, one of whom is a lead for GDG Singapore i.e., myself, and is NOT subsidised by Google in any way.

This offer is ONLY for GDG Managers and NOT for your members. Therefore, please do not circulate the eBook to anyone else outside of the GDG managers community. By giving away free eBooks we are giving up our revenues but we don't want to get into any legal troubles with the publisher who holds worldwide commercial distribution rights.
