Is this the one that didn't let you review the book?
Scott, That isn't that, I wouldn't write a forward for such a book. I've reviewed this book extensively and I think it is quite good.
Ayende, I really appreciate you sharing your insight and helping fill in some of the gaps while I has writing the book. Having you, Paul Stovell (founder of Octopus Deploy) and Mohammed Ibrahim as reviewers was phenomenal! Also, thank you for writing the forward. It really meant a lot.
One of my goals in writing this book was to distill the key aspects of optimizing a RavenDB application - from the data model to the API. The other was to cover the scale out & high availability story for RavenDB. Hopefully readers will find it helpful as they are building applications on top of this great platform. -Brian
Hmm, for a performance book, they chose such a scruffy, old looking bird for the cover...
just sayin'. :)
I agree with Steve Py ..and what's white thing on the left wing?
p.s. (I buy the book)
The raven picture is one from the Tower of London which has some cool legends behind it. From Wikipedia:
The ravens of the Tower of London are a group of captive Common Ravens which live in the Tower of London. The group of ravens at the Tower comprises at least seven individuals (six required, with a seventh in reserve). The presence of the ravens is traditionally believed to protect the Crown and the Tower; a superstition holds that "If the Tower of London ravens are lost or fly away, the Crown will fall and Britain with it." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravens_of_the_Tower_of_London
