The meat of the review is at the end--the first part is a summary of the content.

I have the book, and at my stage of development, it is quite useful, though for an experienced developer it's likely one step above a Dick and Jane reader, I suspect. The reviewer takes the author to task for excessive wordiness, sloppy proofreading, and too much cutesy-ness in general, all of which are pretty much right on.

But I think this book is a Godsend for the beginner.

I thought I'd post a couple of quick links to some of the development resources mentioned by me and others last night at the PDXDUG meeting. (Andrew, maybe you can add a link to the module metrics you were talking about).

As we said last night, don't play on your production site; create a dev/sandbox copy where you can wipe everything out if it gets gnarly (and maybe this is obvious, but make sure you're using a different database that the main site too!).
