Readers would be pleased to know that I have teamed up with Packt Publishing to organize a Giveaway of a new book written by me - Node.js Blueprints . And three lucky winners stand a chance to win 3 e-copies of this book. Keep reading to find out how you can be one of the Lucky Winners.

The winners

Similarly like the contest for Getting Started with Grunt book, I decided to use a script that shuffles the participants and randomly selects three of them. Here is the code that I used:

// http://stackoverflow.com/a/962890/642670 var shuffle = function(array) { var tmp, current, top = array.length; if(top) while(--top) { current = Math.floor(Math.random() * (top + 1)); tmp = array[current]; array[current] = array[top]; array[top] = tmp; } return array; } users = shuffle(users); for(var i=0; i<3; i++) { console.log(users[i]); }

Aaaaand the winners are:
