Hi, my name is Peter Vidal and I guess that it will be a great idea to have that
kind of information available.  I think I am with a very big "choir" of people
that not only signs  but also agrees on this need, so ...

Keep on doing that good job Gary!  There is an audience waiting!

Dave,

I think I'm a little surprised to hear you say that.

So, once I finish the book I'm writing now (by the end of next week -
yea!), should I quit toying with the idea of writing an "APIs by
Example" book and go ahead and write it? If there's not an audience, I
don't want to spend my time on it! On the other hand, if the thing will
sell, it would be worthwhile.
