On Amazon the paper price and the Kindle price are about the same... ~$25 i think it is a dollar more for the privilege of not carrying 4.2 pounds around!
This book focuses on long-lived fundamentals; on helping readers learn how to think about solving problems and taking on new challenges; and on tools that don't change with the Drupal version.
That said, the book is not already outdated nor will be soon in the many version-specific tech details it does include; unlike many other books available it waited until Drupal 7 came out and it even was updated in the last hour to reflect the latest Views 3 user interface. This book is a solid foundation for years to come.
Disclosure: I'm an extremely biased source, and almost as familiar with the book as reviewer Michael Ross. Wow, i wish he had been the copy editor.
If your code is PHP, and considering what it's strengths are (the forum display and experience rather than the user registration management, for instance) you may want to look into converting it to a Drupal module and releasing it-- rather more likely to have a user and a developer community this way, though it would be a lot to learn for just one project.
Opera's been everything I need a browser to be since I was forced back to it in search of an e-mail program, oddly enough-- Thunderbird destroyed a friend's entire e-mail storage (about four months after I installed it for her) and Apple Mail apparently froze but 'sent' some important e-mails of mine without saving a copy anywhere.
Fortunately, Opera got a version (8.5) that actually worked on Mac at about the same time, and Firefox just isn't as good yet. And now ad-free Opera is officially free.

I've had two successful rebates and then got denied for an invalid UPC. Not according to Tiger Direct or Netgear when I bought the wireless router, though. My latest communication with that economical third-party service provider:

I don't remember what any of the stuff was, I just know Tiger.com said it was a rebate and everything seemed to match up when I mailed it in, and I feel ripped off. I won't be taking any more rebate offers, though it has worked before. You can pass that on to Tiger and Netgear both.

There's a new serious effort to make an open source search engine, and I can see there's a lot of interest about this in this thread. You can get a preview of our opening documents at the Openzuka forums, http://openzuka.org/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=2.
At the least, I see distributed processing possible in doing the work of indexing (and analyzing) the internet, and passing this on to a central server.
Send me your e-mail address or other contact and your level/area of interest, and I'll let you know how things develop! http://bemweb.com/contact/
