MaintainIT is producing a series of monthly 30-minute webinars focused on topics from the Cookbooks and designed to get you started on a project today. July's topic: Notes on PC reservation system that works! with Kieran Hixon and Jesse Weaver from the John C. Fremont Public Library.
It's true, everything on our site is FREE, but if you'd like your Cookbooks bound, you can purchase them through our Café Press storefront.
