Another book on Puppet

[Felix Frank]

Hi all,

it's with great pride that I follow Alessandro with yet another plug of
relevant literature.

My first book, Puppet Essentials, is available as of right now. Check it
out: http://bit.ly/1zoGxbW

It's suitable for readers with no prior Puppet experience whatsoever.
Knowledge about the *NIX command line and/or scripting or programming is
highly recommended. The title covers the basics and then some,
dispensing the information quite rapidly. For someone who's setting up
their first server and would like to use Puppet from the start, it is
most likely too difficult to follow.

All that being said, I tried to pepper things with all the experience I
gathered through the years of interacting with folks in here and using
Puppet professionally. I'm sure most users will be able to take
something away from it.

Thanks are due to my editors over at Packt Publishing for making me do
this in the first place. I'd also like to add some shout-outs to my
reviewers:
Ger Apeldoorn, of conference and training fame, helped me a great deal,
by not only scrutinizing my code examples, but also with great
commentary on my coverage of the concepts.
Brian Moore had an ever vigilant eye on the greater context and called
me out on more than one inconsistency and weird ordering. Thanks to him,
I ended up including yet another Nginx quickstart guide.
Puppet Labs' own Josh Partlow added yet more great insight and helped me
with pointed suggestions towards better structuring and some overall
missing aspects.

More thanks go to Dawn and the community team at Puppet Labs, as well as
all the awesome folks over at puppet-dev.

Thanks for reading, let me know what you think if you end up getting the
book, and please feel free to spread the word regardless.

Cheers,
Felix
