into the world of open source development and CVS in no time flat. In addition are several external resources for further reading.

This book is great for any developer considering using CVS to do source control (and if you're a developer, you should be using SOME form of source control). While I personally recommend doing source control with Subversion, some like CVS; and if you think you might, this will be the book for you.
