Book Reviews of Wikipatterns

Book Review: Good Concept
Summary: 4 Stars

Wikipatterns is a good book, but not a great one. It did help me clarify a lot of my doubt regarding the wiki technology and the book has a lot of case studies.
There are many patterns discussed in the book and also on the website. Choosing the right pattern would still be complicated task even after reading this book.
