I just about had a heart attack, I was so startled. I'm in my office when I hear someone run up the stairs to my front door, an extremely loud thud, then running down the stairs.
My heart racing, I wonder what it could be. Then again, the same thing; running up the stairs, THUD, running down the stairs.
I'm still startled but realize it could be a delivery. I wonder what it could be since I'm not expecting anything...
As I open the front door, it happens again; running up the stairs, THUD, and the UPS guy runs down again.
I'm still a bit shaken up from the initial (then unidentified) thud, but pleased that three very heavy boxes are stacked by my door, each filled with copies of ColdFusion MX 7 Web Application Construction Kit.
Even as I type this message my heart is not quite back to its normal pace. Whatever happened to the days when the driver would knock or ring the doorbell...?

I haven't gotten my copy of the new ColdFusion MX 7 Web Application Construction Kit, but Ben has gotten his already and he's written about it on his blog. Ben has also published a description and the table of contents to his site for anyone looking for more info.
Hopefully my copy will be here tomorrow! Thanks to Ben for asking me back again. I am honored to have done my part, and have my name listed on the cover with such phenomenal authors.

Due out soon, is Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Web Application Construction Kit by Ben Forta and Ray Camden with Leon Chalnick and Angela C. Buraglia (that's me!). I only wrote chapter 2, which is an overview of Dreamweaver geared towards ColdFusion developers. (The new ColdFusion MX 7 extensions for Dreamweaver are covered in other chapters, not the one I wrote.)
Ben will be posting the table of contents on his site. I do have the back cover copy from the book that I can share:

Wow! So when are you opening that bookstore? ;^)
:-) I'm too lazy to deal with the shipping or I'd probably consider it! ~Angela

Egads- sounds like it's time for a motion-sensor doormat, or maybe a really loud dog... ;-)
Hope your heartrate is back to normal now!
I like the idea of a motion-sensor dog bark! :-) My ticker's beating normally now, thanks! ~Angela

Hehehe. You obviously have more copies than you need. I'd be only too happy to "look after" two copies for you (one for me, one for a friend).
;-) I usually pack a few each conferene or User Group meeting to give away. I'll be at Powered by Detroit and TODCon. No meetings on my schedule just yet... ~Angela

Sorry Angela, I couldn't stop laughing. It was like a black humor movie... and knowing you I can imagine your fear.
It's ok; I don't mind. :-) I think it is pretty funny too. ~Angela
