I read a earlier version of this book a few years ago. It was a little too generic and common sense stuff for my taste. I would say it is worth a look if you feel you need some basic knowledge. Otherwise just get out and do it, you will learn so much more that way.

I read this book some time ago, but I did not find it that helpful. Really if you have any talent whatsoever and you can get a job done timely you can succeed at this without a book.
