I noticed that SourceBeat has some titles out already, with others in the works for mid 2004 release.
I am suprised Matt has not made mention of his Spring Live title that he is going to be putting out.
From his outline it seems he will be covering all the opensource tools that he has been integrating into AppFuse, such as Spring, Hibernate, iBatis, WebWork and Tapestry.
I hope the SourceBeat subscription based model becomes a success for them since it will extend the current static book (with source code) model that we are accustomed to, with a truly dynamic knowledge base.
Considering how quickly all these technologies move, at least you know when you buy the book subscription you will be entitled to the year of updates, tips and community involvement to keep you on the ball of your opensource technology of choice.
Good luck to all you guys!
