I have arrived in Boston yesterday evening to participate to the XML 2006 conference.
Today, I spent most of my time walking in the town and I couldn’t resist to enter in the first bookshop I found to check if they had our new Web 2.0 book.

I’have received my personal copies of our Web 2.0 book and they look really good.
I really like the kind foreword from Caterina Fake, co-founder of Flickr, especially when she says this book is very much about how, through technology, you can capture and delight your users. This should be the tagline of our book!
She goes [...]

I am impressed! I wasn’t aware that such things did exist… Amazon.com has been kind enough to give us a short URI for our book Professional Web 2.0 Programming. This URI is http://www.amazon.com/web2-0thebook/.
This is a short and cool URI indeed and if, being a cool URI, it doesn’t change our book will always remain THE [...]

Phew! said Danny Ayers, relieved said Erik Bruchez. Our upcoming Web 2.0 book is written and it’s been both hard work but also fun.
This book is a long story, almost as long as my interest for Web 2.0…
A long time Web and XML expert, the marketing around Web 2.0 kept me away for a while [...]
I am making all kind of tests for the chapter about multimedia of our upcoming Web 2.0 book and as it is often the case when I am writing, this is sparkling a number of strange ideas.
I was exploring the similarities between playlists, podcasts and SMIL animation when it occurred to me that it might [...]
