Decent overview of the subject matter. My only complaints are that the SMS and voice subject matter were intertwined; I would have preferred them as independent subjects/dedicated chapters. I am also a C# guy, so PHP as the primary code language not ideal. However, still useful and I would say helpful in getting me going.
