Because next week is spring break at UC Berkeley, I have a bit more breathing room to work on my book. While I need to turn in the first draft of Chapter 8 (on AJAX and Javascript) next week, my current priority is to recalibrate the schedule for the book as a whole. I'm please to see that my book already shows up on the Apress site as well as on Amazon.com. It's pleasing and a bit scary at the same time as I deal with the myriad details of finishing up the writing!

One of the distinctive elements that Apress brings to the publication process is its use of technical reviewers that are clearly identified and listed in their books as major contributors.

We are looking for a reviewer to work on my book. The main job of the reviewer is to review the text for technical accuracy, to point out any items that you suspect may be in error. Ideally, I'd like to find someone who is knowledgeable about mashups. However, it's probably more important that this person be generally knowledgeable about the Web, specifically, the way web application are going today, including the use of Web services. Obviously, a reviewer has have good attention for detail. You won't get rich doing it, but I'll do my best to make it an engaging and worthwhile project for you.
