Book Reviews of Programming Collective Intelligence: Building Smart Web 2.0 Applications

Book Review: "Out of the box"!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of the best books I've read in the last few years. It has a very natural and easy to follow format, with simple but powerful pieces of code written in Python.
Have you ever wondered how to build a search engine? This book not only explains all the moving parts of a search system, but also builds one with the reader, step-by-step.
It is focused on the web 2.0 arena, but the ideas can be used in many other types of applications.
I highly recommend this book to learn about different techniques and to give you insight of what you can do with information in general.
