The Complete Guide to Google Wave – Free eBook

20 November 2009 525 views No Comment

Google Wave is a new web-based collaboration tool that’s notoriously difficult to understand. This is an unofficial guide to Wave written by a community of contributors via Lifehacker.com and edited by Gina Trapani with Adam Pash.

Because Wave is such a new product that’s evolving quickly, this guidebook is a work in progress that will update in concert with Wave as it grows and changes. The first edition of the guide will debut in January 2010 as both a PDF and a softcover print book, with new editions to follow throughout the year.

Keep an eye on the official site, follow them on Twitter, or subscribe to the mailing list to find out when future editions of the book will be available for purchase.

Don’t forget: The Complete Guide to Google Wave is and will continue to be freely available to read online at completewaveguide.com.
