We need to mass-import books #22

Open cndreisbach opened 10 years ago

There's a great list of free programming books on GitHub in Markdown. It's formatted in a regular way, so we should be able to parse it and get all the books and URLs out of it.

We need a Rake task (or script) that will pull down this file and read out all the books and load them into the DB. If possible, we should be able to run it over and over and not create duplicate books. We could use the book URL as a unique identifier.
