This is the August 2007 edition of this title. I read the previous version, and even if you have read that one, this is a must read. The authors have included new material and updated sections that make this book pretty valuable to anyone considering Asterisk.
If you are only recently curious about Asterisk, or you have installed it many times, you'll still get important and current information from this book.
I just attended AstriCon 2007, and the book sold very well there among a group already well-versed and committed to Asterisk.
The book takes you through the how-to and where-to-go of getting started, through setting up dialplans, configuring hardware, describing special applications and discusses anticipated developments.
The authors are dedicated to the documentation of this platform, and this is the keystone book for Asterisk.
