Announcing the Managed Assembly TekPub Giveaway

I’m excited to announce that Managed Assembly is now sponsored by TekPub. To celebrate, TekPub has given me two 1-year subscriptions (each a $200 value) to give away. You can learn more about the contest and how to enter on the contest page.

I’m a big fan of what TekPub is doing and the video quality is top notch. While watching the Git series the other day I was thinking, "I wish I could buy this for everyone." While I can’t afford to do that, giving away some subscriptions is the next best thing.

If you recall back to almost a year ago when I launched the site I stated that one of my goals was no ads on the site. I’m compromising on this stance for a couple reasons:

• The sponsorship rewards users of the site and not my pocketbook.
• The contest will (hopefully) help bring in new users and content to the site, increasing its value to everyone.
• The sponsorship doesn’t interfere with the site in any way. I’ve only added a small graphic/link to the footer.

I think this is really an ideal arrangement for the site. Don’t worry, I won’t be adding any big ads to the front page.
