Not very useful of a book (and outdated now, in 2015.) Also, Dave Prochnow is not a very good writer, his hacking skills notwithstanding. He's all over the map, from preachy about DRM to sexist to brimming with bad puns.

Get yourself a subscription to MAKE Magazine rather than read this.

There are far more interesting projects listed on any number of websites.
