I picked up this book some time ago, however I started reading the book over this past week. I wanted to learn about the different forms and signups for my site. I think Zapier is amazing. However, I have not yet implemented anything. I will be starting shortly. The book has very useful material that can be used to gather polls, surveys, and sign up forms for your Landing Pages. I thought this was a very worthwhile read. The reason for the 2 was that you needed more experience in the development stages of the app, and it would not be a good fit for most side hustlers.
