    <body><![CDATA[This book is pretty basic.  It's not a bad start if you're coming from CVS or SVN with zero DVCS experience (git, bzr, hg, bk, ...).

    <body><![CDATA[Loved the hands on approach. You need to read this book next to a terminal and following along -- by the end you'll be very familiar with all the fundamentals that make git powerful.

    <body><![CDATA[It's important to note that on the cover &quot;Pragmatic Version Control&quot; is in large type and &quot;Using Git&quot; is much smaller, so the focus is really on explaining the basics of version control, and it just happens to use Git.
