At the time of writing it's a few days before Black Friday 2017, and deals are emerging. I'm sharing a deal that I've just spotted (and purchased) for Tower, a git application:

* https://www.git-tower.com/ (50% off)

Have you seen any deals worthy of mention or recommendation? If so, I'd love to know more.

No specific deal here but a casual reminder that Amazon markets some Black Friday deals as being better than they really are. Always remember to check the item's price history on CamelCamelCamel (https://camelcamelcamel.com).

P.S. Tower is amazing. I use it every day and it's one of my top 5 favorite apps alongside Sublime.

A list of over 100: http://blackfridaytech.co/

Very nicely done. Are you aggregating from various sources directly or using a service that provides the information?

Curious if anyone has seen any deals for laptops good for developing (light, decent power, not too pricey), particularly in the UK.

Dell Outlet [1][2] typically has offers over and above their usual array of discounts. I'm holding off on a laptop purchase until tomorrow (Thursday) when their deals are announced. They had an email signup page for BF deals but I can't find it right now.

Exactly that - thank you.

On previous years I've seen great discounts for tech books (not ebooks) from O'Reilly, but now that they closed their web store I can't find any deals on dead tree books.

Has anyone seen discounts for paper books, tech or not?

Apress

$12.50 for a tech softcover is amazingly cheap! Now the difficult part is knowing what Apress books are worth buying.

IMO, the content is good, but the customer service and such is terrible

Newegg has already kicked off the festivities.

MSI GTX 1050 gaming laptop $599:

Does anyone know of a website that will alert you on deals for a particular product?

I.e - if I am looking for sales on a laptop, a site where I can punch in the product number/name and get an alert when a low price is reached?

I posted this about a dev watch with WiFi from TI

Note: it's not "normal" WiFi, it's a proprietary wireless protocol

Thanks. I totally missed that. I could have sworn I saw WiFi somewhere. I guess not.

We built a dashboard in partnership with Slickdeals on this! https://holidaysales.live/

Got an email from Techsmith (Snagit and Camtasia) a few days ago about a Cyber Monday sale. No figures mentioned, but the above 2 products were mentioned.

Camtasia is a great product, that if you're using it often/full time I'd recommend.

I'm currently using "OBS Studio" to produce training videos which is free and open source software, it definitely isn't quite up to Camtasia levels but it ticks a lot of boxes and produces fantastic H.264 output. Because it was seemingly designed for streamers who were gaming, the performance impact is also minimal and it does things like picture in picture.

Good to know. I love Camtasia but my previous employers didn't want to budget for it (my current one is better in that regard but I don't need it right now).

getform.org for form processing is a good deal, it has %50 of for annual subscriptions.
