No properly-bound book for ZendCon, but discounts!

So the binding of the books won't happen in time for me to have one to bring with me to the Zend Conference, but I will have a bound manuscript to show off. I will also have flyers to hand out, which will give you a 35% discount on the book!

It ended up working out better for me to go out there for a few days around the conference (I arrive on the 6th), so if anybody in the Bay area feels up for a Saturday night run to any one of the many restaurants I miss in San Francisco, it would make me very happy! If not, I'll just go without you anyway, as I plan to do most of the nights that week (except, of course, the evening of Happy Hour 2.0).

The book went to the printer today

Assuming all went well at Prentice Hall, they've passed the book off to the printer today, and I should receive a pre-distribution copy to bring with me to the Zend Conference! I got a copy of a much later draft of the book cover, which has undergone some slight changes, but should look more or less like this:

The quote on the front cover reads:

“I very much enjoyed how this book covers the full Ajax application life-cycle and not only coding techniques. Anyone who is looking to become a professional front-end developer will appreciate the architectural insight and best practices delivered by this book.” - Andi Gutmans, Co-Founder & Co-Chief Technology Officer of Zend Technologies

Up on Safari Bookshelf's Rough Cuts!

The entire book has now appeared: Advanced Ajax: Architecture and Best Practices.

Amazon!

I received some of the PDFs to go over how it will print up, and noticed the ISBN number in the front matter PDF. So, putting it into Amazon.com, it brought up Advanced Ajax.

Back to work, just got excited.

Make sure everybody puts it on their wishlists for the holidays (not Halloween, unless you really want it). :-)
