Congratulations to all winners, and thanks for Jeff and Dave to be with us for a week.

However, Dirk, seems that one of the winners Dave Minter is the author of the book!

Hurrah, and a fine prize it is too... although I do still have five copies in a box on my desk.

In view of which, Dirk, perhaps you could pass "my" copy on to Nick here, who's asked some interesting questions in the last week.

Unless Jeff's short of a copy...? ;-)

Dave.

Congratulations to all and a big hand to Dave and Jeff for clearing out some of the quirks of the Portlet spec!

Nicholas, thank you for pointing out my mistake. Sometimes I wonder about myself... :roll:

The correct winner was "David Ulicny" not the author, "Dave Minter".

"Dave" ... "David" ... Same thing, right?

Ah, well, in view of that, perhaps Nick could drop me an email, and I'll arrange to send him a copy instead.

Dirk, yup, they are in fact similiar. I messed up in the first day of the promotion as well.

Dave, thanks a lot.

By the way, I still have some more questions about portal applications wanna discuss with you, will you still be here this week?

Sure, I'll try to keep half an eye on the Web Application Frameworks forums from now on for any other portlet related questions that crop up.

Dave.

I'm really happy that I have same name as the author . Thanks for the book, I'm looking forward to read it.
