You might want to try to search Amazon or other online book stores to see if they have books on the subject. But probably the best place to get more information is the GnuPG Users or Developers mailing list. Who knows a program better than the developers themselves? Kind regards, Michael Sean,

This is a good reference for the simple stuff. I am looking for more of an end to end reference for GnuPG and I feel that the manual is lacking. Does anyone have more of a guide for GnuPG.

Interesting insights into the on-demand software industry, some 10 years after it first came alive as “Application Service Providers or ASPs”. My company launched the web’s first Database-as-a-Service in 1999, and we’ve observed the same issues Michael’s response to John Dvorak’s article contains.

I had expected a lot more from it. Maybe is had something to do with the fact that I know Bruges quite well. I’ve seen this movie about two weeks ago, and I was a little disappointed actually.
