I have just updated the sample app + installation guide of the sample app from my ejb3 book to use JBoss 4.2.2.GA. This makes the installation much simpler. I also removed a few issues from various places.
You can the updated description on the books web page.
Remember, even as there is the free PDF version of the book, it still can be ordered in print.

German Groovy Book
Joachim Baumann has written a German book on Groovy. I just got my copy in the mail.
With nearly 600 pages it is a bit fat for my personal taste (one of the comments about my JBoss book was "Your examples are terse - it is obvious that you have a C background", but it basically covers everything.
Joachim has a nice casual style and the gift to sprinkle the book with citations of (famous) other works of literacy.
Check out the following weblinks for more information about it:
Congratulations, Joachim!

Amazon finally has it - or not?
Tuesday, January 23, 2007
Yippie!
I just got a copy of my EJB3 book in my mailbox. It is again a great feeling to actually have the printed copy in the hands.
One can get sort of a feeling when one print it out on the laser printer, but having the real book is still different.
Amazon still shows it as unavailable, but this should change within the next few days. All those who preordered a copy will also soon get it.
I still need to add a few things to the accompanying web page, but I'll do this in the next few days.
Here is a picture with my copy:

Draft of my next book is at the publisher [updated]
I just submitted the draft of my upcoming next book to the publisher to start the review process.
You might wonder what it is about. Well it is about EJB 3.0 and targeted at readers who are already familiar with EJB 2.x and want to know the changes without repeatedly reading things that they already know about.
As there is no final title or cover etc, I can't give them at the moment. Stay tuned, as I will post some more later on.
Dpunkt.verlag is again my publisher, so you might also check out their page about upcoming titles for the anouncement and a link to the final page.
[Update]: Dpunkt has the book description (with the non-final cover) now online

It is out!
Today I got the first copy of my JBboss book from the publisher. Really neat.
Within the next days the printing plant will supply more copies to the
distributors and stores, so it will be available until around the start
of next week in stores.
The accompanying web site also has the examples plus some errata online. I plan to also publish some additional material there, which is/will not be in the book.

News from my book (updated)
My JBoss-book is currently in the last steps of being typeset. Expected in-store date is 28th of April (Amazon.de will have it a few days later).
We also changed the subtitle from "Konfiguration und Programmierung" to "Serverhandbuch für J2EE-Entwickler und Administratoren".
Unfortunately, the updated cover does not yet show up at the publisher site or at amazon.
[ update ]
The new cover is now online at the publishers site and looks like this:
Do you see the nice little JBoss-logo on the bottom left?
The book has been reviewd by Thomas Diesler and is officially entitled to have the logo on it. The book also has a preface by Marc Fleury :-)
The book is currently on its way to printing plant and thus will be in stores on 28th of April.

Amazon.de finally shows the cover art
Amazon.de finally also shows the cover art of my book Amazon.de: Bücher: JBoss.
It doesn't make a big difference, as the book did not change and the comment stays the same etc., but when you look at the book list, it directly makes a better impression when the cover art is shown as well.
