Montvale, NJ, February 26, 2002 - SYS-CON Media (www.sys-con.com) headquartered in Montvale, New Jersey, announced today that the newsstand and bookstore edition of the March issue of Web Services Journal will offer an exclusive Web Services Resource CD, "Secrets of the Web Services Masters" (www.sys-con.com/webservices). WSJ is the world's first and only print and online magazine devoted to the newest and most-pervasive computing paradigm since the arrival of the Web itself. Web Services Journal is the only magazine focused completely on Web services, and is uniquely positioned to cover .NET, J2EE, XML and other related technologies, rather than a single platform.
"The Web Services Resource CD, 'Secrets of the Web Services Masters,' is priced at $119 and will be offered at JDJStore.com at $79, a $40 discount from the regular price," said Anthony Spitzer, manager of JDJStore.com. "This CD contains all of the articles published in Web Services Journal and also includes, as a bonus, all of the articles published in XML-Journal since its first issue. The CD also contains exclusive SYS-CON Radio and TV interviews with the movers and shakers of the newly emerging Web services industry, as well as a $100 discount coupon to attend the Web Services Edge 2002 - International Web Services Conference & Expo."
The CD is edited by Sean Rhody, editor of Web Services Journal, and bundled in a sealed jewel case with the newsstand edition of the magazine's March issue (Vol. 2, issue 3). This issue of WSJ will be sold at $14.99 on newsstands worldwide. The CD does not contain any advertisements, product demos, or other promotional material and is intended to serve as a pure information resource.
"Newsstand draw and sales of Web Services Journal have been increasing steadily," said James Morgan, vice president of production at SYS-CON Media. "With this offer, we anticipate an average sell-through of more than 90%. We predict WSJ's newsstand sales will match or exceed our best selling i-technology title, Java Developer's Journal, by September of this year."
"The response to WSJ has been tremendous, and reflects the groundswell of interest in Web services in the industry," said Sean Rhody, editor-in-chief of Web Services Journal. "Our Web Services Panel Discussion at Web Services Edge East was attended by over 1,000 delegates and clearly indicated the commitment of the industry to this emerging paradigm, (www.sys-con.com/webeast/tv.cfm)."
"Like our Web Services Edge 2002 East and West Conferences, Web Services Journal supports and extends SYS-CON's commitment to evolving i-technologies and serves as a forum for dialogue between both .NET and J2EE developers and the software industry," says Jeremy Geelan, WSJ's editorial director. "WSJ's March issue contains full pre-conference coverage of our Web Services Edge 2002 East - International Web Services Conference & Expo, the most significant Web Services event of the year, to be held June 24-27 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York, where we anticipate the highest attendance and participation ever by all sectors of the Web services community (www.sys-con.com/WebServicesEdge2002East)."
"Web Services Journal has been the most successful new magazine launch in our company's history," said Megan Ring, the magazine's director of marketing and sales. "All preferred advertising positions were sold out the same week we introduced and distributed 250,000 copies of WSJ's preview issue. Web Services Journal's sponsors and advertisers include the world's leading players in the Web services industry, such as AltoWeb, Attunity, BEA Systems, Borland, Cape Clear, IBM, Infragistics, Inktomi, IONA, RogueWave Software, Shinka Technologies, SilverStream, Sonic Software, and SpiritSoft.
