Hey,

"


There's no substitute for hands-on experience, but for most students, real world tools can be cost prohibitive. That's why we created the GitHub Student Developer Pack with some of our partners and friends: to give students free access to the best developer tools in one place so they can learn by doing.

I've just applied and got response in half a minute (opened the owa and mail was already there :))

They didn't want to apply mine to my account, but I copied and pasted the wording from the offer. It was magically applied a few minutes later. They didn't want to do it because I had already used some promo codes.

The wording in the offer says that you can use it no matter what....(referring to Digital Ocean here)

That's a deal. $100 DO credit? Heck yeah - that's over a year and a half of running one VM. Signed up just now and got a response almost immediately. Stripe is also nice - SendGrid is OK, though Mandrill does 20,000 emails/month for free.

@D. Strout:

I'm going to use sendgrid as fallback if:

mandrill acc

  a) runs out

  b) not available (highly unlikely but why not :) )

@clarity:
