    Check out the Panasonic W7. I have the W4 from a few years back. It’s Windows, so maybe not your thing, but I love the hell out of it. Not quite as thin with a slightly smaller screen, but it’s lighter and has a built-in DVD. If Wi-Fi is turned off you can get 6 hours of battery life out of it.

    I hate just about everything about Windows, these days. :(

This is a book for professional web designers and developers who already know HTML and CSS, and want to learn to build sites with WordPress. The book begins with a detailed tour of the administration screens and settings, then digs into server-side topics like performance and security. The second half of the book is devoted to development: learning to build WordPress themes and plugins.

This is the second, much-revised and updated edition of Beginning WordPress 3, with a more accurate title. Everything’s been updated for WordPress 3.6.
