GWT in Practice completed! (and funny Amazon association)

It took us a lot longer than we anticipated, and the timing is not great (with GWT 1.5 just around the corner), but GWT in Practice is finally done-done, and it is with the printer. Should be available in paperback, as an actual book (rather than just eBook form, which it has been available as for some time) any day now.

Woot and stuff - we did it, Cooper and I wrote a book.

Fortunately even with GWT 1.5 imminent I think this book will still stand on it's own - it addresses a lot of concepts and patterns that go beyond the syntax of any particular version of GWT, so it will still be valuable even to those using 1.5.

Anyway, the real reason for this post is that a friend noticed something funny on the Amazon page, those who bought this book also bought . . . . wait for it . . . Blade Runner. ;)

Has nothing to do w/...

You and Coop both owning the movie I am sure and then buying 100 copies of your books each :p

Congrats

Congratulations to you guys. I bet you thought this day would never come. Will the hardcopy make it to JavaOne, and will you be signing copies at the J1 bookstore?

Thanks

Appreciate the congrats. The books are supposed to be in the J1 bookstore per Manning, but I don't think I will be attending this year - nobody to foot the bill (hopefully Cooper will be, and will be in said booth, but I haven't talked to him in a while so I don't know).

I think I am going to Google IO later in May, in San Fran, if anyone is going to be out there for that.

For the record, Manning is

For the record, Manning is giving me some free e-book vouchers to give away. If you read this and will tap me on the shoulder at J1 mentioning this post, one is yours!

Congrats

Hey looks like the book is doing great. You have broken into the Amazon top 10 list for books in the
Books > Computers & Internet > Networking > Networks, Protocols & APIs > ISDN category.
