[Update 2: Due to festival week in India [Deepavali week], we are planning to extend the giveaway deadlines to November 3. 
Those who didnot send the entries – Send us your entries asap and you can be the one to grab best seller QTP books/tutorials for free..]

Sometime back we asked on facebook that who all are interested in learning the QTP for free. Reason for asking is – I don’t understand why people are spending hundreds of $$ on QTP trainings. There are recourses available at affordable prices. The resource we are talking about is a Book – QTP Unplugged by Tarun Lalwani.

About Book:
QTP Unplugged is the first book on QTP and it is the best seller. The writer is Tarun Lalwani. I pre-order this book in April 2009. When I got the book Tarun (author) personally called me on my mobile (not only me, but to all readers) and asked me about the book.
Book is really amazing and in every chapter you will find something new to learn(even if you know QTP). There are really very excellent tips in each chapter thru which one can start working on QTP more smartly. I really appreciate the effort of the author. I bet, if you really want to learn QTP then only this book is enough to understand the basics and advanced concepts. Also whenever you have any issues/queries in QTP, author will help you via QTP forums.
