Are you ready to win an eBook copy of our new book from Packt?  We're giving away ten free eBook copies of our new book!  My co-author Gaurav Aroraa and I recently finished our book: You can find the book here: Hands-On Microservices on Packt's Site Hands-On Microservices on Amazon.com First, I want to thank Gaurav (a Microsoft MVP award winner) for bringing me in on this book.

I think I'm going to set a personal goal to write a book with a painfully long title now. Let's see how far we can get with this. What do you think?    - Ninja Ed
