This eBook is a fast and pretty fun introduction to ESI/EDD for the IT professional. You’ve heard it from me before, if you’re in IT you need to be aware of ESI/EDD. If you haven’t heard of it, you will soon enough and by then it may be a crisis/drop everything/all hands on deck kind of thing (cough… Chapter Six… cough).

Take a bit, get this eBook and spend a few quality minutes curled up with it… Come on ANY book with Stargate SG1 and ID-10T chapter references can’t be all that bad! ;)
