Nice Review of ‘HTDE with Web 2.0 Blog’
I appreciate what this reviewer is saying about my book…sometimes it’s tough to “hit” just right with the marketing, cover design and so on. The truth its, a lot of folks worked hard on the book (editors, tech editors, copyeditors, publicists) and not just me. But it’s a pleasure to receive glowing praise such as this:
Do yourself a favor: don’t judge this book by its (awful) cover. I’ve had this book by my side every step of the way while setting up my very first blog, and I have to say it has been a huge help. Stauffer’s style is direct and engaging, not cutesy. He tells you what you need to know to get started, without a lot of fluff.
I wanted to write a review here because I think this books deserves a big audience, and because the Amazon listing tells you little about what’s covered.
Bob then goes on to talk about the different topics in the book.
Actually, he brings up one problem I’ve had with Amazon on past projects — the book descriptions often come from very early entries in whatever cataloguing systems are used for book orders and sales. So, many times the descriptions of the books just aren’t as accurate by the time they’re written; this book, for instance, moved away from some programming coverage in part because the “rise of widgets” took place as I was writing. It took a long time to get the description changed to reflect the new outline.
