2nd edition is keeping my head spinning.  I mean this in a positive
way.  I'm taking your question as a way to find out if the 2nd edition
is worth investing in.  It is ! Get it now!
Don't delay. Seriously, it is quite full and packed with plenty of
information both for ways to do things and guidance and just old plain
referencing.

If I can ever write an app it's going to be because of AWDWR 2nd edition.
