The book covers all the important stuff, it is easy to read, and has insightful comments and good examples. The comments below should be seen in that contexts.


Unfortunately, it seems to be poorly edited. There are many typos, and the example scripts typically have one or several bugs in them. Even today, three years after release, the downloadable scripts need debugging!


This is actually quite frustrating, as you can't take those scripts for granted. If you want to learn by modifying you don't know if it is your modification or the original script that caused your problems.
