I have read all of the theory. Their premise hasn't changed, but the evidence that validates it in our profession today has. There is some troubleshooting. There is more reference to testing and mention of standards. According to the contents there are many more lessons or updates on current lessons. I particularly liked the section on testing. As much as I HATE, HATE, HATE the testing we must do, it is what the naive powers that be look at. If our testing isn't at least as good as everyone else, we will suffer. SO I gather up the testing documentation as much as I can. That was a powerful piece. Kim
