Interesting Portals 

NetVibes
This portal feels similar to PageFlakes in many ways but I love their gallery. They also have a feature whre certain chrome elements only become visible when you hover over the web part.

Xtra
A New Zealand news portal. I especially liked the content rotator web part at the top of the middle row. Seems like a nice way to allow a user to browse through data.

My Web Part book now available for purchase

Categories

Manning Press - the publishers of my book - have now started releasing chapters via their MEAP (Manning Early Access Program) facility.  MEAP allows readers to get access to the books' chapters as they are completed but before they have been printed.  This is the basic blurb about MEAP:

Manning Early Access chapters are released before final editing to encourage readers to participate in the most sensitive, final piece of the publishing cycle, by offering feedback to the author at Manning’s Author Online forum.

In addition to getting the digital copies as they are ready for printing you can also opt to receive a final copy when it is available from the printers.  So head off to the site and purchase a copy via the MEAP and let me know what you think via the forums for the book.

# Manning MEAP Problem
posted by Bart on 6/29/2006 11:03:55 PM :

Hi Darren,

I would like to order the MEAP e-book from the Manning site. But each time I want to order the book the system adds shipping charges to my bill. So I contacted the Manning support team and explained the problem. A day later I received a mail that th problem was fixed, but no such luck. I sent a new mail to the support team and until now no response and no solution. Perhaps you as the author of the book can help me solve this annoying little problem.

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.


Bart

Thanks for the heads-up Bart, I've been in touch with Manning to find out what's going on with this.

Cheers!

# E-book can be ordered without shipping charges
