I've got to say I'm disappointed. I was drawn by the layout/style of the book, but there is very little substance behind it. I've read Chapters 1 and 2 and think the material that occupies 138 pages could have easily been covered in 20-30 pages. And the amount I learnt really didn't justify the amount of time invested. Usually O'Reilly books are to such a high standard, but not this one (in my opinion).
