===================================
* Hands-On-Java CD, 2nd ed. Ready to Ship

Finally, it's ready! This has been a significant development process, nearly 
as hard as putting out a book. 

I've spent the last couple of weeks creating the online order-processing 
system (entirely in Python and HTML, using a MySQL database). We now have a 
secure server so you can comfortably put your credit-card information into the 
https pages. 

We're expecting a lot of orders (and a few bumps) in the first week or so -- 
shipping might be delayed for a few days. 

Full details (including upgrade information) can be found at:

===================================
* Objects & Patterns in December nearly full

The Objects & Patterns seminar Dec 11-15 in San Diego, CA is down to the last 
three places; if you sign up after that you'll be put on the waiting list. The 
next one (in the US) won't be until March 12-16 (also in San Diego).

===================================
* CORBA/Java in January

The new, improved "Thinking in CORBA with Java" seminar happens January 22-26, 
2001, in San Diego, CA.

===================================
* J2EE Seminar, February

The first Enterprise Java seminar will take place February in Emeryville, CA. 
This will cover EJBs, Servlets and JSPs. We'll start taking signups Dec 4.

===================================
* Ant: not yet

Thanks to everyone who mailed me about 'Ant'. My conclusion is that it has 
great potential and is very desirable, but right now it is missing too many 
'make' features to be useful in my projects. But I look forward to the 'Ant' 
updates.
