Baru saja buka e-mail, ternyata aku dapet Free ACM Student Membership karena partisipasiku di acara-acara ACM selama ini (padahal yang bayarin kampus). Hehehe... I love gratisan. Gratis is my life.
Apa saja benefit dari ACM Student Membership? Berikut infonya :
- Full and unlimited access to 2,500 online courses from SkillSoft.

- Plus, the option to subscribe to the ACM Digital Library, which includes more than 2 million pages of text
- dan sebagainya...
Kalau pun mau join biaya-nya sangat murah kok. Kalau tidak salah, kurang dari Rp 250.000 per tahun. Nah lewat ACM ini kita bisa mendownload berbagai jurnal ilmiah dan laporan riset dari the first (and greatest) scientific and educational computing society.
Lumayan lah... buat bacaan minggu malam.
