===================================
* Hands-On Java Seminar in November

The Next Hands-On Java Seminar will take place November 13-17 in Emeryville, 
CA (across the bay from San Francisco).

===================================
* Objects & Patterns in December

The Next Objects & Patterns seminar will take place Dec 11-15 in San Diego, 
CA. This seminar has sold out every time we've given it so you'll probably 
want to sign up early.

===================================
* Status of Hands-On-Java CD, 2nd ed.

I'm now recording the lectures for the 2nd edition of the Hands-On Java CD. 
I've learned that producing a CD ROM is always full of surprises so I don't 
want to make promises right now about when it will be finished. If you buy the 
first edition now, you are well within the window to get the 2nd edition as a 
free upgrade when it comes out. Since you're on this mailing list you'll be 
automatically informed when it is available and how to upgrade. 

===================================
* Chapters 2 & 3 of Thinking in Java Solutions Manual

I have posted the free "demo" solutions for Thinking in Java, 2nd edition, at 
http://www.mindview.net/TIJ2/SolutionGuide.html
The selected solutions for the remainder of the book will be available for $12 
at some undetermined time in the future, and will be announced in this 
newsletter. 

===================================
* Making a Windows CD ROM run on the Mac?

After buying an iMac for the express purpose of trying to create a 
cross-platform CD ROM, I've been unable to find anyone who knows enough about 
it to tell me how to set up the CD with the necessary information so that the 
Mac can recognize HTML files and sound files, etc. (Yes, I've read about the 
resource fork, but no one explains how to make one on a standard CD from/for 
my PowerPoint-generated HTML & Sound files). If you have any tips or pointers, 
please send them -- thanks.
