  The meaning of Hype in The Probert Encyclopaedia is Hype is Black-American slang for "a deception". But the same word in the Michael J. Motto Advertising - Selected Glossary means Extreme promotion of a person, idea, or product.
  
  Either way, the 10m setup video in the official site of ruby on rails is quite impressive and looks promising.

  I've bought from amazon.co.uk some books about Java. I need to move from PHP to Java, as soon as possible, and start to make some serious programming on this platform.

  Core Java 2: Fundamentals Vol. 1: This book is the new edition of the best-selling introductory book to Java for experienced programmers and completely updated for J2SE 1.5. It covers the basics.

  
  

  Core Java 2: Advanced Features Vol. 2: This book covers the more advanced features of the Java 2 platform, such as: Multithreading, Collections, Networking, Database Connectivity- Jdbc, Remote Objects, Advanced Swing, Advanced Awt, Javabeans, Security, Internationalization, Native Methods and Xml.

  
  

  J2EE Design Patterns: This book covers UML (Unified Modeling Language), Presentation Tier Architecture, The Business Tier, Enterprise Concurrency, Messaging, J2EE Antipatterns, etc.
  Seems, this is the last book i will read from this three ;)
