Looking for book "Internet Applications in LabVIEW"

[K1200LT_rider]

This book must either be a really good one or they didn't print very many.  I have been searching for months for an used copy, and the only one available is by some book seller who wants $200 for it.  I have been in contact with Jeffrey Travis (the author) through his site, and he does NOT plan on updating it to a newer edition.  In case anyone wants to know, a new 3rd edition of his "LabVIEW for Everyone" is coming out soon (which I have already pre-ordered on Amazon).  About a week ago I had actually ordered an used copy of "Internet Applications in LabVIEW" when another copy (much more reasonably priced) showed up on Amazon.  The description said the CD was missing, so I emailed Mr. Travis about buying a copy of the CD, and they didn't have a single copy of it.  Well, a few days later an Amazon email told me the order for the book got cancelled because it was out of stock.  Hmmm.  I guess I'll keep watching.  If you have a copy would you like to sell it?  Is there any book that anyone knows of that covers Internet/network-related info like this book?  I have Gary Johnson's "LabVIEW Graphical Programming" 3rd edition and also have the new edition of that book pre-ordered on Amazon.

Thanks,

Brad

Hey Brad,

I am not familiar with this book, but a quick search came up with similar results.  Here is a eBay search for that book that you can keep checking on.  In any case good luck in your search!

For $200 I'd be tempted to sell my copy. I even have the CD.

It's too bad that Jeffrey Travis will not be updated the book but there's probably not a lot of money to be made. The book was excellent for it's day but an awful lot of the content has been made obsolete with the release of LabVIEW 6 and remote panels. I think the book was written for LabVIEW 5.0. About the only thing that I might refer to the book now would be some of the Internet Toolkit examples. If you have some specific questions about LabVIEW and Internet applications, go ahead and post them.

I remembered reading a thread on this topic here

I am also searching for the same. There is not much materials on the topic remote experimentation.
