I'd like to share Tim O'Reilly's post about his recent trip to
Beijing <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/11/china_foo_camp.html">"China
Foo Camp: On the Outside, Looking In."</a> Tim writes about his
experiences in China, the smog, and the differences between the tech
cultures in Shanghai and Beijing.

<br>
As we start to think about the end of the year, I should point out
the incredible list of books we have coming out in December. It seems
to
be an O'Reilly tradition to get as many books out as possible by the
holidays. Take a look at the list of <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.oreilly.com/store/upcoming.html">upcoming titles</a>
and you'll see
what I mean. <br>
<br>
If any of these look like they might be just right for your group,
don't heistate to send me a list. The earlier we start the better.
As usual all Amazon, Slashdot, and oreilly.com reviews are appreciated.
<br>
<br>
If you would prefer to receive this email in text instead of HTML,
drop me a line.
