Absolutely chock full of serious Plone development strategy. Essentially this book is an overview of "How We Do Things" in Plone Development, with tons of links out to other resources. I'll be chewing on this stuff for a while, coming back to it frequently, and recommending it often.

Un libro veramente ben fatto, sia per chi si avvicina a Plone, sia per chi già conosce questo CMS
