[WISPA] Dennis's Router OS Book.

2011-04-26 Thread Tom DeReggi
I just bought a copy of Dennis Burgess's Learn Router OS Book.
I have to say, I felt it was very well written and laid out intuitively.
For those that haven't seen it, and have new techs needing to be introduced to 
Mikrotik, I highly recommend it.

There is a lot of good knowledge in there, but it was hard to find - in part
because the page numbers are on the inside, by the spine, instead of on the
outer corner of the page where they're supposed to be. Lots of typographical
errors, a few spelling errors, lots of awkward-sounding first-person voice.

Maybe I've been spoiled by O'Reilly's high standards for technical books --
or maybe I'm nitpicky because I was a newspaper copy editor during college
-- but it really seems like Dennis' copy editor fell asleep. I still have it
on the shelf, and it's not bad, but it could be a lot better. I'd jump all
over a copy of Learn RouterOS, Second Edition, though, with a better index
and a bit of polish.
