Packtpub graciously offers a free tech related ebook to anyone who signed up. This script makes a call to the packtpub website, extracts the information of the current free ebook and displays it in a notification window.
The sole purpose of this script is to be run at system startup of my local computer so I wouldn't forget to check the current offer.
This script has only been tested on a Linux (Mint) system. There's no guarantee, that it will work on any other system (I especially doubt that it will work on Windows), although I tried to be as OS independent as possible.
Running npm install -g should put the script on your path so you should be able to invoke it with packtpub-current-ebook from your console / bash.
