Incredibly useful. There are some typos, some occasional missing lines of code, some hyperlinks that may no longer work, but it's still an enjoyable and engaging read. (Plus, there is a lot of book-related information online.) I'm glad I purchased this book rather than renting it, as I'm certain I'll be referring to it in the future.
