Re: Question about Michael Kay's book

Please, no offense intended, the siliconpublishing web site is MS and 
ShopFactory is a Windows only product.  I appreciate that those in the MS 
world are sold on Mike's book.  I'd like to know whether its equally valuable 
for those of us who live without MS, i.e. no IIS, no IEx, no Windows OS, etc. 
For example, how well does it cover Cocoon?
