Five years ago today, Packt published its first book, Mastering phpMyAdmin for Effective MySQL Management. In the years that followed this, Packt has published over 200 books on many different subjects and technologies.
We think it's important to take the time to celebrate and thank the people who have made this possible. Therefore as our way of saying thank you for your support over the last five years, we can announce that from today and throughout the next five weeks, Packt will be offering new and existing customers' five exclusive offers.
These include:
- 5 Free eBooks for you to download (Starting week commencing April 20)

To begin this period of celebration, Packt will be giving away an eBook every day this week, starting with Building Online Communities with phpBB 2, today. To download your entirely free, PDF copy of this book, simply login to your account, or create one if you don’t already have one, and scroll down to your download area.
