Tech Books Deals of the Day

Shows deals from various sites (primarily book publishers)

This is the source code for the Tech Books Deals of the Day site -- that site is currently using https://github.com/hoop33/techbooksdotd, but will switch to this soon.

It's written in Go using the Revel Framework.

To Run

To run:

• Clone the repo into your go path
• Install Revel
• Install the Revel command
• Run the app

Here are the commands:

$ go get github.com/hoop33/tbdotd
$ go get github.com/revel/revel
$ go get github.com/revel/cmd/revel
$ revel run github.com/hoop33/tbdotd

Open a browser to http://localhost:9000.

The Cache

The app caches the results to avoid hitting the various sources repeatedly, using the following approach:

• For Daily deals with a "publish" timestamp, expire 24 hours after publish time
• For Weekly deals with a "publish" timestamp, expire 7 days after publish time
• For all others, cache results after 8AM for the rest of the day

To clear the cache, add a URL parameter: clearCache=true
