Summary: Good to learn CVS but Open Source Dev Stuff Out of Place
Review: This seems like a good book for learning CVS, but the chapters devoted to Open Source Development seem out of place. Granted, the author ties it in since CVS is so widely used for Open Source Development, but that's where the association ends. I believe that the chapters on how to use CVS are available online, so if you want to learn CVS, you may not even have to buy this book.

Summary: Poorly Written
Review: Unfortunately, the book was poorly written and rather confusing to following. The book had no flow to it all and to read it straight through without additional reference material and a system to work on would have left me even more disappointed. The book overall appears to have been thrown together for a quick buck. Was their an editor involved in this project? Getting and installing CVS is in Chapter four! There are only nine chapters and the ninth chapter is a ref. chapter.There is some decent information in the book but its definitely not my sole reference. My advice for a newcomer like myself to CVS is to look around for additional books and if you have money to spare get this one.
