I am now a Head First author! Thanks in no small part to Brett McLaughlin for all his great support, my audition for HF UML has been accepted and the process of getting the whole shebang contracted is now well underway with training in Boulder, Colorado being kicked off next month.
K, so the first two attributes I had a bit of a jump on the rest of ya.
Sorry.
I know! That's not fair is it?!
Well then,
Take it up with Russ! Comments are now open! There's also an Atom feed. NOTE: Need to talk to the Squarespace folks as they seem to be only serving up Atom 0.3. As soon as thats gets fixed I will make sure and post a link and encourage others to use their services ;)
Other XML data feed formats? I didn't realize there *WERE* any other besides Atom? Oh, my bad...
Sorry... There's an RSS 1.x/RDF feed as well (specified by the good folks behind the RSS 1.x/RDF specification.) That's my bad... I think 'data feed~=Atom', 'semantic web~=RSS1.x/RDF'. That's what through me off.
Huh? More? No, I'm sorry, there are no other...
Oh wait, are you thinking of RSS "2.0"?
That's not XML. [1] ;) :D

Oh, that '@last' bit... Apparently I need to read my email more thoroughly next time as it seems Russ sent me an email like a week ago on the subject and it somehow... um... I guess got missed 8|
Uhhh... Ooops :)
Sorry 'bout that Russ! But now I know... and now others do to :D
Congratulations on the title Russ!
For those keeping score @home (<- theme? :) that would be...
count them with me...
and now Three titles in the last two years for Russ...
One word: Damn.
Enjoy Your New Knowledge That a Head First UML 2.0 Title Is On It's Way and, Even Better, Authored By Russ Miles-enhanced day!

[1] : Ok, technically speaking, it is.
But then again, technically speaking... I don't give a shit. If you hope to be a big grown up version of XML someday, you need to use *ALL* of XML, not just the pieces you kind of sort of understand, calling the other pieces irrelevant, or frivilous, or, more specifically, suggesting that the power exists in the fact thats its *NON-STANDARD/STANDARDIZED*!
Huh?
I promise you, they're necessary.
At least by big grown up developers they are. The power being refered to exists in simple things... like namespaces. Without them this "power" otherwise *CAN NOT* exist.
Power exists in Atom and in RSS 1.x/RDF. It doesn't exist in that other format.

Couple the three books with finishing up my masters degree and I am one busy bee who’s hopefully aiming for some downtime next year to give me a chance to catch my breath!
Now where did I put that life I used to have ….
Hey Russ,
I gave up looking for mine a LONNNNNNNNNNGGG TIME AGO ;) At some point I think we will both need to accept the notion that this IS our life, ;)
Cheers my friend! Looking forward to the release of #2 as well as watching development of #3 from the bleachers :)
