Un po' scarno, e riassume in poco spazio concetti e pratiche abbastanza diffuse e non particolarmente innovative.

Tende anche a concentrarsi un po' troppo su YUI e consiglia nomi che tendono ad essere anacronistici per le classi html.

Very good book about developing large webapps. The best parts I think, are those about CSS and JavaScript. I can recommand this book to every webdeveloper!

Not quite relevant anymore on implementation, but good to read though because of the key concepts it presents.
