Professional Web 2.0 programming for real

I’have received my personal copies of our Web 2.0 book and they look really good.

A short URI on Amazon.com for our book

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 [...]

Web 2.0, professional… and Fun!

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…
