Consequently I approached this book as I might a plate of liver in beet sauce - fighting my gag reflex. Burleson, however, has written a thoroughly practical introduction to the marriage of these two technologies. He covers the promises and pitfalls of both, complete with an evolutionary overview. Hopefully that volume is forthcoming soon. If you don't have it handy somewhere, let me know and I will go get it.
Coverage is thorough.
Once again, ORA wanders off the beaten path and returns with a treasure. Having run a not very satisfying consulting and contracting business in the past, I can attest that this book is as useful to people involved in that area of software as to those wishing to develop and sell software. This book is extremely readable. It gets a bit redundant in places, but I'm sure some of us need to be reminded of some key issues. About all that's missing is a list of good references on legal and accounting issues.
