Mastering Chef

I'm still in the process of reading it so obviously I'll need to post an update when I either finish or give up. This is nowhere near well written and the author seems to jump around and assume the reader already has a deep understanding of chef. This is my second chef book, I've done multiple training sessions, and I'm responsible for maintaining chef and writing recipes for my production environment. I bought this book to give me a deep dive into chef. I think that's what it's providing but it's hard to tell. The author jumps around rapidly and continually references portions of the product that he hasn't covered yet.I'm still holding out hope that decyphering the authors intent will get me to a much deeper understanding of chef but I haven't found it helpful so far. This is definitely not for beginners. That all being said the author clearly understands chef and I've already come across multiple explanations that gave me insight into aspects of chef that I didn't understand before. It's just really frustrating trying to dig them out of the poorly written and scattered text.

The book is a good introduction for Chef.

Mr.Mayank Joshi has done a brilliant job.I suggest this to all the beginners and also experts who are working on chef or keen to take up a career on chef configuration management tool. Everything is patiently written, focused on even the small details of the platform.
