This book gave me so much new information to think about that I'm going to have to let it settle for a while then come back and read it all again.

I'm pretty sure that the mere fact that I have read this is going to save me a lot of trouble in the not too distant future, and stop me going down paths that would not be a good idea in the long run (though, somewhat gratifyingly, it also confirmed my ideas about a few things as well, though even then it gave me something extra to think about).

Very well written thorough, with easy to read examples demonstrating exactly what the authors mean at every stage. Highly recommended for anybody looking to build anything larger than a small CRUD app.
