Title: Too proprietary
Review: As you go through the book, more and more examples rely on the previously discussed code. That makes it unusable as a reference book.My main complaint is that well over 1/3 of the book is devoted to HTML parsing and dynamic output, which is great. The problem is that the author wants you to use his HTML parsing engine for every 'How-to' recipe. So, if you don't want to use this particular parsing method, close to half of the book is useless. :(
