I just ordered it along with Ruth's book on ecomerce. I am doing development for a POS system, to use ofbiz for inventory management. After scouring the web (there are many great tutorials online) I have a pretty good start. I do feel reading any docs is a good investment, as the modules seem pretty hooked together, and it is not that intuitive. Although after a month of goofing about I do think it is not as hard as it seemed, once you get used to how it works. Having worked through the hotwax tutorial on product screen and the developers tutorial (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Tutorial+-+A+Beginners+Development+Guide) Many of the concepts for doing development are available. My issue is with me, as there are several ways to do the same thing, and it can become a bit confusing what to use. Java, mini language, or groovy. XML or FTL, event versus service or seca etc. I am just trying to see what was done before me and using the same methods as much as I can in a hot-deploy project. It is coming along well. I am a big ofbiz fan, and that is why I bought those books today. Maybe I can write something from a basic use point of view. The docs available are great, but I was a little in the dark and some of the fields are not well described. Many times you can find a specific tutorial about it and it gives good detail, but many times it takes digging in the archive (thank god for this resource). Many thaanks to all who have documented ofbiz, as a new user I can tell you I appreciated every bit of documents, tutorials, etc.
