What have I been working on?
Yes. I’m writing the book on The Realtime Web for O’Reilly.
Not only am I writing it, but you can actually buy “Building the Realtime User Experience” today, right now in fact. And you can read it today, right now in fact. The folks at O’Reilly are really smart. They understand why this is an important topic and helped me rush it out the door, warts and all, as part of their Rough Cuts program. So the book you’re getting today is not totally complete, but it has quite a bit of content. It has huge amounts of code samples, including complete working applications, and even some higher level discussions about the topic in general. If you’re aching to get add some realtime type experiences to your application, this will get you up and running today.

I want more updates, where can I get them? On twitter, follow @therealtimebook and there is also a website. I’d that you should check the twitter account first and often.
I’m excited to read this, Ted is a really smart dude. I personally guarantee that anyone who buys this book will become an instant millionaire (or at least have a book with a cool picture of a bird on it and some great insights into modern web apps).
