This week's book giveaway is in the General Computing forum. We're giving away four copies of Arduino in Action and have Martin Evans, Joshua Noble, and Jordan Hochenbaum on-line! See this thread for details.
UDDI and ebXML have been someone competitive architectures which are now coming together at least in compatibility. There is a white paper at this link entitled "Using UDDI to Find ebXML Reg/Reps".
