As I've previously stated, Edge Inspect is one of those rare products that, once you use it, you wonder how you ever developed without it.
Why do I mention this now? Packt recently sent me a copy of Joseph Khan's new Instant Adobe Edge Inspect Starter e-book, which I took the time to read on a flight this week.
