[Arlian · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hmm, this book was an acceptable intro. It was astoundingly dumbed down, but also lacked a glossary, so if there were terms you were unfamiliar with (like, I don't quite know what "force SSL" means). It covered absolutely basics, and very little else.

started this in late May 2010, but life was too hectic to sit and enjoy it.
