Re: [apps-discuss] IETF technical plenary: the end of application protocols

[Hannes Tschofenig <[e-mail]>]

Dave, 

I just found this quote on "Professional XMPP Programming with JavaScript and jQuery" http://professionalxmpp.com/ 

"
The book's quite inspiring. Very few books on programming make me want to actually program something.
"
—Dave Cridland, Isode

Is this a different Dave Cridland?

For those who have not read through the book it talks about how to implement XMPP-based protocols in JavaScript. 

Ciao
Hannes
