The First Sitecore Development book scheduled for release May 29, 2012

As a Sitecore Developer I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Professional Sitecore Development By John West especially after seeing the following in the Amazon description.

• Addresses installing and configuring Sitecore.
• Touches on some of the more advanced features of Sitecore, including other APIs, pipelines, and configuration files

Once you have your own copy I would love to hear comments on parts of the book that helped you as they may direct others that have similar needs.

While we wait for the book release please check out his blog at John West - Sitecore Blog there is a lot of really useful information.
