Book Reviews

Slashdot: "There's a great deal to like about this book. The author clearly possesses the expertise and experience needed for providing instruction on a challenging topic such as this. His explanations are not abbreviated, as seen in so many other technical monographs. Furthermore, most programmers learn best by viewing and mentally dissecting sample code. For such people, Martin Aspeli's practical approach — focusing on a substantial sample application — will prove more engaging and instructive than the made-up and oftentimes overly simplistic examples found in many computer programming books — including the increasingly popular cookbook titles." -- Michael J. Ross, Web Developer, Slashdot.org

Vitaliy Podoba: "our programmers have gained a lot of relevant information. And there is a countless number of examples that can be provided here. They will definitely get even more trying all described in the book in practice working in Plone 3.0. "

David Handy: "Aspeli is good not just for facts but recommended best practices. So far I am in complete agreement with his philosophies. And especially, I am verypleased for once to be reading relevant, up to date material!"
