1. Apress Affiliate Program--Make Money!
We're pleased to introduce the Apress Affiliate Program, which benefits
 online communities, website owners, and bloggers who publicly recognize
 Apress books and help generate sales. The program credits affiliates who
 link to Apress eBooks a 10% commission on eBook sales when their visitors
 click through and purchase Apress eBooks. Setup is free and an account is
 easy to maintain. We'll supply affiliates with images or text links to place
 on their sites. Then at the beginning of every month, we'll send a check to
 each affiliate for the previous month's commissions. For more details and to
 set up an affiliate account, visit http://www.apress.com/affiliate/

2. Ablog--The Apress Weblogs

Visit the new and improved Ablog to be a part of inside opinion and the
 latest industry talk. You'll find timely posts from Apress' own authors,
 editors, and readers. (And be sure to check out postings by Gary Cornell,
 Apress publisher and voice behind the creative  insightful "Gary's Eclectic
 Thoughts-From the Publisher.")

Apress is proud to provide this venue, combining authors, technologists,
 employees, and the publisher-all on one floor, thinking out loud and outside
 of the box. Ablog is RSS enabled and supports RSS1, RSS2, and Atom formats.

4. The Apress SuperIndex

If you've ever kicked yourself for not bookmarking that PDF or turning down
 the corner of the book with the awesome code, suffer no longer. We introduce
 the Apress SuperIndex, a search function that locates the keyword or code
 snippet you need to make your life easier.

With the SuperIndex, you can quickly search for specific sentences or lines
 of code within a book you already own or are interested in purchasing. Usage
 is limited by IP. Search now at http://superindex.apress.com.
