With Help From Lulu’s Print-On-Demand Technology
Speed-to-Market a Key Factor in the SpiderWorks Release of “Mac OS X
Technology Guide to Dashboard” by world-renowned JavaScript and Dynamic
HTML expert, Danny Goodman, at Lulu.com
MORRISVILLE, NC–JULY 11, 2005– The publication of the first book
dedicated to Dashboard, “Mac OS X Technology Guide to Dashboard” by Danny
Goodman, was today announced by Lulu (www.lulu.com), the world’s
fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books, and Spiderworks
(www.spiderworks.com), a specialist in how-to eBooks and printed books.
Included with the recently released Mac OS X Tiger, Dashboard hosts handy
mini-application widgets that let you perform common tasks and provide you
with fast access to information in a single click. Author Danny Goodman
shows readers how to build rock-solid, professional widgets for Dashboard
in his new SpiderWorks book, available only at SpiderWorks.com and Lulu.com.
SpiderWorks wanted speed-to-market, and Lulu’s print-on-demand technology
delivered. The book’s immediate availability guaranteed that SpiderWorks
would have the first published book dedicated to Dashboard.
“The release of the new SpiderWorks title is a perfect example of the
benefits of print-on-demand technology through Lulu.com,” said Bob Young,
CEO, Lulu. “Print-on-demand allows us to accept last minute changes to the
text, so you can finish writing the night before launch and still be the
first to market. You cannot deny the edge that ‘first to market’ and ‘speed
to market’ delivers in today’s competitive environments.”
“We love working with Lulu because their services allow us to release
time-sensitive books on new technologies much faster than traditional
publishing channels. Lulu enables us to empower our customers with the
information they need when they need it,” said Dave Wooldridge, SpiderWorks.
