I saw the post today, and 5 minutes later… I have just buy mine on CRC Press Online… Great, well done.

In reply to Arno Nymus. @Arno - correct. The book started shipping in North America on Dec 5, and several hundred copies were shipped already, I'm told. I understand that copies in Europe are shipped from the UK branch, and this started a few days ago.

In reply to Steve C. @Steve - thanks for alerting me. I had made a stupid mistake in the redirection clause on the server that caused this. It's now fixed (and links to this page). The errata part will be added in a few weeks, so stay tuned.

I just received the book yesterday and am looking forward to reading it. I tried to type in the URL for the “book’s website” found on page xviii and it comes back ‘Not Found’ with a search form. I suppose its too early for the errata list to be published but I was hoping that perhaps I could bookmark the link for later reference. Having access to some of the URL’s that the book refers to, or even some of the larger code examples from the text would also be great. Thanks for a great book!

In reply to Mike W. @Mike, the book covers almost the entire report, except a few additions/fixes that are newer in the report. Also, the report is softcopy PDF, so you can copy/paste/search. The report is also in full color. On the other hand, the book contains a lot of other stuff, so they complement one another. Re the jar, I discuss jars in general but not the specific question you asked. If you read the book you should be able to handle this task.

Ah, finally a possibility to support your work.
Donating from a company would have involved some serious paper work (if it’s even possible), but buying a book is easy.

Currently only pre-order in Germany, but it says “First Edition 12.Dec.”, so it should be available any moment.

Just got your book! I’ve been wishing you would write something like this for a while. Two questions…
(1) How much overlap is there between the book and the uitable/JTable report that you have available for sale (does the book include everything in the report)? and
(2) do you ever address swapping out an included *.jar on the standard java static path for an upgraded version (I want to use a newer version of Lucene than the one shipped with MATLAB)?

Hi Yair. I’m looking forward to getting my copy. Just don’t tell anyone! 🙂
Cheers,
