RE: Wrox Going Under

Matt hopes for for Professional JSP 2.0:

[Larkware] A couple of weblogs have reported that Wrox is going under. Although at the moment this has to be classed as "credible rumor," it really doesn't surprise me, on two fronts. First, it seems to me that Wrox's strategy for the past year or so has been mainly "throw a lot of stuff at the wall and see what sticks."

I really really hope not. I was looking forward to Professional JSP 2.0...

Yeah, I was really looking forward to this book - my first time being published, busting my hump to write just after having a new daughter, among other things. It just sucks. It doesn't really suck for me, it really sucks for the people that actually worked for Wrox. As for Professional JSP 2.0, who the heck knows what'll happen. I really hope it gets published. I also hope to get paid for writing, but that'll probably never happen. If they don't publish it, they probably don't have to pay the authors. I think the book is done though, maybe we can talk them into publishing it... Let's get a petition going!

Or maybe I'll just sell my chapters on eBay.

That will be a big loss if they do close down. They are one of the few publishers whose books follow a hands-on approach to teaching the technology. I wonder what financial problems caused this, they seem to have a good readership and developer following I thought. Time to buy the Handbooks I need soon before they are not available. Maybe someone like OReilly can take over or buy them out.

Let's take the book to another publisher ;)

That would really suck! Matt, you put so much effort in the chapter, and I just couldn't wait to read it. Fingers crossed anyway for Wrox and your chapter.
