Not a bad book for people who are learning SVG. Raphael is old and is not maintained anymore, but everything the book covered is useful! Also, using Raphael sure makes it easier to work with SVG's!

Come introduzione a RaphaelJS fa più o meno il suo dovere.
Il problema è che cerca di condensare in meno di 100 pagine argomenti che ne avrebbero richieste almeno il triplo.
Gli esempi sono ben fatti e chiari, ma per alcuni argomenti complessi (i path, le animazioni, le spline, ecc.) sarebbe stato utile averne qualcuno di più.
Un libro discreto, che meriterebbe una mezza stellina in più se si potessero mettere.
