<br><br>---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: Mike Bean <<a href="mailto:beandaemon@gmail.com" target="_blank">beandaemon@gmail.com</a>><br>To: "CLUE's mailing list" <<a href="mailto:clue@cluedenver.org" target="_blank">clue@cluedenver.org</a>><br>Cc: <br>Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2015 12:32:11 -0500<br>Subject: [clue] question books (git/puppet?)<br><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi! Recent developments in my career trajectory have convinced me that I need more experience with automation. Specifically version control (puppet & git). Recent attempts to return to school have met with, at best, mild success. As much as I want to study computer science, the ability to read binary at will has exactly jack/squat with achieving my tangible physical goals in the next five years.<br><br></div>So I'm left with the old school way, turn off the TV and read a book = )<br><br></div>Can anyone recommend good reference material on puppet/chef/git? <br><br></div>Mike B<br></div>
