Among my top books for 2011 is this one by Jez Humble and David Farley. I reviewed it here, and it also sparked some discussion of what is the difference between the various continuous software development/deployment models.
I have a spare copy of this book to give away. All you need to do is comment to this post with a valid email address – this will not be posted or used for any other purpose, but I will use it to request your address if you win. Please do not include an URL as it risks being dumped in the spam bucket!
On January 6th I will select a winner at random. I will post to anywhere in the world.
Update: I have selected a winner. To do so, I used Java’s Random class to generate a number between zero and one less than the number of comments. The number it came up with was 4, so the winner is Ian Smith, the 5th person to comment. Congratulations!

Yes please! I’m very interested in the benefits of continuous integration and delivery and would love having this book.
Hello Tim – as one who’s srsly drinking the Continuous Deployment kool-aid, I’d love to see other views.

As someone new to side work projects I am very interested in this book. Thanks for the consideration (even if it is random) 😉
Hi, Tim,
Jez Humble is the “Father of Continuous Delivery” IMO.
Cheers, keep up the great work and fight the good battles.
