[vtkusers] vtk books

[Lisa Avila]

Hello Michael,

We have just finished updating the VTK Users Guide (adding quite a bit 
of new material on information visualization, geospatial visualization, 
selections, widgets, time dependent data, composite / multi-block data, 
animation, etc.) We expect to get the new version of this book back from 
the printer in the late January time frame. The new CMake book will also 
be available around this same time. Keep an eye on the mailing lists - 
we'll announce their release date as soon as we know it.

We are in the process of updating the VTK textbook now, and will 
probably have the new version of that book in late summer 2010.

Between releases of these books, a good place to find information on new 
features in any of our open source projects is The Source (our quarterly 
newsletter for developers / end users). You can find the Source archives 
here: http://kitware.com/products/thesource.html,  along with 
information on subscribing to receive a paper copy if you'd like.

Lisa
