review 1: It feels as if English isn't the author's first language. The grammar and spelling is technically correct and obviously intelligent and informed, but the feel of it seems "off" somehow, and it makes this subtly less readable. English isn't just about rules of grammar, it's about a customary way of using it.I find that if I read the words in a Swedish accent in my head, it actually helps my comprehension.
review 2: Between the welter of Idiots, Dummies and Beginners guides, and the few reference books (or Bibles) it's hard to find something for those who want to know more than the basics. This could have been it for WordPress but, having struggled past Part II, I reluctantly have to say it's a mess. Ideas and concepts are strung throughout the text and I've spen... moret more time referring back than actually reading forward. It doesn't help that raw wodges of code are repeated and you have to extract the point of them from their detail. It also didn't help that what looked like text markup language escaped into the printed version.But I'm an programmer (and you'd need to be to get through this) and I've persisted to the end. The 25 quid did point me in the right direction to fix one bug on my blog, so... worth it for that alone. less
