I wanted to forward this bit of information from Sean Convery (the
author of the book) to the list regarding the request for an
accompanying reference website for the book:

: Thanks for sending the review along. I'm very glad folks are finding
: the book useful. One small point of note: the reference website
: requested does indeed exist. I reference it in the preface. All the
: links in URL form are posted here:
:
: http://www.seanconvery.com/nsalinks.html
:
: There's also some other book related stuff off of the root,
: including a sample chapter and a repository for errata as we find
: it.
:
: Thanks again,
:
: Sean
