Sorry for the delay in announcing it - I was waiting for the book to physically arrive in my hands, which it hasn't done so, yet. (I have a copy pre-ordered with Amazon and since that's the way most people will be receiving the acquiring the book, I imagine, I wanted to make sure it was actually, physically, being distributed before I announced it.) I plan on writing up a full blog post once I have my copy of the book.

John: Sorry, I just fat-fingered a down vote that was supposed to be an up vote. Thanks for checking in. I'm looking forward to the book myself.

Any plans for a kindle version? As I lives in an asian country (Sri Lanka) kindle is best and only way to access amazon book store :)

  I assume you mean having the book physically shipped to Sri Lanka is not feasible/possible. Consider buying the ebook from Manning directly [0]. They do offer the ebook in Kindle (mobi) format. [0]: http://manning.com/resig/ http://manning.com/resig/

    Once there's a pdf or other ebook available it'll be pirated. How that doesn't damage sales I'll never understand. The Lazarus (object pascal ide) book is only available in a physical book format for this reason.

      It may well be pirated regardless: http://www.themillions.com/2010/01/confessions-of-a-book-pirate.html http://www.themillions.com/2010/01/confessions-of-a-book-pir... In another life I wrote technical books, which at the time were only available in physical formats. That didn't stop electronic versions of the more popular books from appearing on usenet.

        That's a good read. It's hard to understand the motivation of someone who's prepared to put in that many hours pirating a single book. It's seems a bit pathetic

    Yes. Shipping to Sri Lanka is harder or takes too much time. Thanks. I will go for the manning site. It works
