“Writing for Developers” is featured as @manning.com's deal of the day today. The 45% discount also applies to “A Damn Fine Stable Diffusion Book” by @willkurt.bsky.social and “Everyday Data Visualization” by @callmedeeray.bsky.social . mng.bz/Y7oK

Rather chuffed to get featured on @cynthiadunlop.bsky.social's blog (alongside many names who I've fanboi'd for years, giving me serious imposter syndrome 🙃)
