Brian Suda, co-author of hCard and hCalendar, developer of the very cool X2V and geo microformats and google maps mashup tool, and technical editor of the microformats book I am currently well into writing, has picked up the honor of having the first book dedicated to microformats out the door. Previously there have been chapters in books on microformats, but Brian’s PDF only Using Microformats for O’Reilly is the first whole book. Well done Brian. At just $9.99, and downloadable too, it’s well worth a good look at.
Just save some money for my book early next year too eh 
Brian is also talking at Euro OSCON tomorrow, and he gave me a quick peak at his slides, so I know it will be well worth getting along if you are at OSCON.

[…] Well, we finally have a book, thanks to Brian “X2V” Suda. $10 for the downloadable PDF: Microformats let you share structured information in HTML web pages. Although the information is visible to human readers–as it should be–software can also extract structured information. This Short Cut is a general introduction to the history of microformats and an explanation why these ideas are rocketing to the forefront of technology. It includes information and examples on how to add all of the popular microformats used and consumed today to your documents. Also included is discussion of where the idea behind microformats originated and why the microformats process is so open for everyone to contribute. With millions of instances of microformats on the Web, isn’t it about time to learn what it’s all about?
