I have arrived in Boston yesterday evening to participate to the XML 2006 conference.

This bookshop happened to be Borders, 10 School Street and [...]

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 [...]

Written in 1999, this article is not prime news but it’s still a must read for anyone interested in XML: in this short buzzword free piece, XML’s father, Jon Bosak, describes the birth of his baby.

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/.

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…
