The content of the book is good but it's missing all the code samples, even for the little details like a single word being highlighted as a code keyword. Without these, the book loses all its substantive value. Do not buy until fixed!
Follow-up: Because O'Reilly is awesome, they gave me the book in PDF format no-questions-asked. This one still needs to be fixed though!
