About the Book
This book is aimed at technical people that for some reason or another want to build more advanced applications, or just a standard web site for that matter, on top of WordPress. If you want to get a taste for what type of content to expect, I suggest you head on over to my website and check out the blog posts about WordPress development. http://erik.torgesta.com/category/wordpress/ If that content is useful, you will find that the book goes even deeper into the same type of issues and has lots more code sampels.
Most of the content is aimed at software developers rather than IT operations with the ambition to explain and educate so that the resulting software product is suitable for automated deployments. So it's much more a Dev book than an Ops book.
Having said that, I think it offers some understanding of WordPress that may benefit more than just developers.
