Review: A more technical perspective

Alan Berg at Free Software Magazine writes a more techy review than I've previously seen.

Impressively practical and accurate, this books 250 pages of straightforward and easy to understand text is another effective book from the PACKT publishing stable. Rice writes in such a way that you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to follow along and create an interactive website and fill it with content.

And...

William Rice has written a clear explanation of the core details required to get a working instance of Moodle off the ground with solid course content backing. I particularly like the fact that it has so many screen grabs, making the walkthroughs transparent and obvious, even to me.

A lot of the review discusses the book from the point of view of an open source advocate and expert. If you're more technically minded (embracing rather than running from terms like PHP, programming, and Apache), this review might push your buttons.
