Deitel catches the Web 2.0 bug

I've bought several of Deitel's computer books in the past, and they always do a very good job. It looks like they know a major wave when they see one. Although they don't have any web 2.0 related books out yet, other than a couple on XML, they have just launched a set of resource centers. These are collections of links for Ajax, Ruby, and Mash-ups. This is a good marketing idea, since it starts building their traffic in these areas in preparation for the books they must be working feverishly on. The other thing I like is that they are based in Maynard, Mass, just a few miles away from me. Maybe they can help jumpstart a New England Web 2.0 community. We sure are behind Silicon Valley on this wave.
