My book will be out in a couple of months. However, although it does
contain much more tutorial and example material than the manual, at 600
pages it certainly could not be described as a "quick start guide". I'm
all for as many different descriptions as people are prepared to write,
because different people have different requirements and see things
differently - so a reader gets a choice of approaches.
