July 30, 2012I just read through the beta version. There's obviously some information missing but so far it's chock full of good information. I'm looking forward to reading more. It doesn't hurt that I'm starting development on a new mobile project today - good timing.

Some good content, but it could have been more clearly explained and better organized. It also contains quite a few typos, which is not a deal-breaker but does make it harder to read.
