===================================
* Thinking in Java, Revision 3 available

You can find revision 3 (very close to what will go to the printer) here:

http://www.mindviewinc.com/downloads/TIJ3.zip

General details of the changes made in the new version are be at the beginning 
of the book.

I will put up the final version after it goes to the printer. Still working like 
crazy on it.

The print version will appear in December.

===================================
* Thinking in Java Hands-on Seminar
November 4-8 in San Francisco - Emeryville, CA.

Created by Bruce Eckel. We believe this is the best 
in-depth introduction to Java that you'll find. It's based on the book "Thinking 
in Java," which was created as the seminar evolved.

This seminar is confirmed, and we are extending the early registration price of 
$1,600 to the first day of the seminar.

===================================
* Bill Venners interviews leading software designers

Bill Venners is now publishing a new interview installment each week on 
www.Artima.com. Here are two recent interviews you may be interested in:

In Java Design Issues, Ken Arnold talks about whether to prohibit subclassing, 
whether to use Cloneable or copy constructors, and when to use marker 
interfaces.

In Designing Distributed Systems, Ken Arnold discusses the importance of 
designing for failure, avoiding the "hell" of state, and choosing recovery 
strategies:

===================================
* Bruce Eckel in Provo Utah Dec 14-21

I will be spending a week with Chuck Allison in Provo, trying to finish up 
"Thinking in C++, Volume 2." However, I will be available to speak to a user 
group or two during that time (if it's a C++ user group, Chuck and I both).
