Quite a nice book. There were one or two things that I haven't seen in other books so far, but I had a gut feeling that it's the right way to go. There were a couple of thnigs that I am not really convinced about, but myabe it all depends on the context. All in all, I think it was well written and worth reading.
I'm generally not so happy with the wrox "Professional" series. The editing is minimal, and the author styles are varied, and mostly awkward. They tend (and this one's an extreme example) to read more like extended slash-dot posturing than wisdom or guidance.
