Instead of a book with concrete examples of how to do what the title says, it is a book for management types that says "you should go and figure out how to do all these wonderful things." Not worth the paper it's printed on. When I worked for Yahoo, we had a Safari books subscription that every employee had access to. I was able to preview books to figure out if I wanted to spend my own money on them. I would never have purchased this book if I had previewed it.
