Rick Herrick Central - Hi there.

So clearly I've working with Maven quite a lot lately.  I'm doing OK, but I'm really at the point like where I know enough French to take bits of what I know and smoosh them together and get food or a taxi to the airport.  But I also know that if Sophie Marceau came up and just started chatting me up, I'd have no chance whatsoever and not just because my wife would be sitting next to me on the bench.

It's because I can't speak French that well, is why.

So I know that I'm leaving a lot of stuff on the table with Maven even as I'm getting it to jump through some hoops.  I'd like to get a good book on it, but I know lots of books on Maven are utter crap because I've tried to read a couple of them.  If anyone has any good recommendations for one, I'd superappreciate it if you could leave the title in the comments.  Thanks!
