Now that Judith is able to get back to doing FA we'll have some back issues
out. This is relevant to the thread as I'll be reviewing the Wrox book as
well as the new one from O'Reilly. Both were shipped to me and I'm actually
expecting one or two more. Without giving the whole review(s) away, let me
say that I'm rather impressed. The Wrox book has a lot of very useful
chapters and is a style that I kind of like. The O'Reilly book is an
O'Reilly book with all it's good feel and a single author. I just got it
and am looking through it now. If all the others are as good then we're
going to have a real fight here for the hearts and minds of the community
(but who said you need only one). :)
For those authors/publishers/editors who haven't sent one for review,
please do.
