Reader Reviews
I'm the author of this book, and I'm writing myself a one star review because you're all right, and you deserve to know what I'm doing about it. We pushed out a book before it was ready, and let way too many errors go undiscovered. My co-author, Justin Gehtland's blog chronicles the experience well. Let me tell you what we're doing so it doesn't happen again. * We've just worked on a reprinting of this book with the great folks at O'Reilly. * We've invested more time in the reprinting than we invested in pushing the book out to production the first time. * O'Reilly has paid for independent reviewers to make sure that we have the code and content rock solid. * O'Reilly has eaten the remaining books in the original printing, and will use only the reprint. * I've refrained from promoting the book in public, until the reprinting was under way. I made no announcement in the usual places, even my blog. My appologies to all readers, and O'Reilly customers. I let you down. There's no other way to put it. This book's quality sucked. We were overconfident after the Jolt award, and pushed it out before it was ready. If you do happen to order it, make sure that you get the reprint.
