On the first read, what I felt is that this pocket sized hundred and few paged book(let) is a sneaky gateway into a new era of applications that are going to turn the world around just like how Flash did. Well-structured, upto the point and a great job by Mike, Rob and Jeff. With just the alpha release out as of today (03/20/2007), the book cannot be considered 100% complete, but I recommend all wannabe desktop RIA developers read this manual.

"Give the authors, all members of the Apollo product team, plenty of credit for their relaxed approach in this guide. Their introductory chapter sticks to a positive case for their approach rather than attack the weaknesses of current Web apps. "
