Thanks for the welcome, Carl! I'm happy to be a part of the JavaRanch book give away. The Almanac is an example of "eXtreme" publishing :-)! The first iteration is out there and future increments will build on it with help from you, the customers! I especially want "suggestions for improvement" -- the real use of patterns is realatively new in our industry. Anything that we can do to help people do their jobs better is good and I believe that patterns will do that. Please understand that patterns will not solve the Software Crisis :-)! They are just a way of capturing good ideas and sharing them.
Thanks again for allowing me to talk about the book!
Linda
