Not familiar with the book, but if you have any sort of programming knowledge then it will be good for atleast a reference. I would just start going through it cause with no knowledge or some, it will still help. Also, you still have the forum, tutorials and the built in script that should get you going.

I’ve heard nothing but bad things about that book, I don’t have it myself, but I’d avoid it.
