Reviewer Rating:
this book really helped our team with understanding the framework of groove. The documentation provided with groove is horrible and cryptic. Bill spells everything out simply so that anyone, no matter what their experience, can learn. I highly recommend!

This book is well written, straight to the point and provides many easy-to-follow and use examples.

We were able to get our team up and running - especially young developers - in half the time we expected.

This book significantly reduces the learning curve and helps junior team members to get up to speed quickly. A great supplement to the vendor provided documentation and good coverage on developing your own custom tools.
