Maybe this is why it's more web two point own ya than web 2.0? Shouldn't someone who knows web security actually write an Ajax security book? Why yes, yes one should. Lets hope Addison-Wesley agrees as I'm talking to their acquisitions editor tomorrow morning.
Cool, good luck. Addison-Wesley seem pretty reasonable from what I've heard in the past. I remember Phoneboy dealing with them the first time he was getting his Check Point book through the works. Knew a guy who was a personal friend of his and reviewed the drafts, etc, he seemed to feel that A-W are cool. Side note: Folks from work were sweating me today about you. "Do you have Billy's email address?" They were wanting info on possible snort sigs for some of the hacking intranet site POC's. I told them it'd be pretty pointless to try (trivial obfuscation) but then someone else asked for your email address as well. So I'm doing due diligence: Do you know of anyone working on sigs?
