This book is a must have if you think of using open source applications for web mapping! But you would also want to read it if you are interested in performing some complex satellite image conversions for instance. The book provides some nice introductions to essential software for web mapping, some of which I never discovered myself before but will definitely help me in being more productive. It will also guide you through the installation process, maybe the highest hurdle for many to get started. You will discover you didn't know so much about the power of the open source software used in the book!
