Not a lot of content...
This book was short, lacked content and did not detail changes in 1.6 very much. Not at all what I expected.

An introduction to the AGI and to the Asterisk PBX,
By Rick van Rein (Enschede, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Asterisk Gateway Interface 1.4 and 1.6 Programming (Paperback)
This book explains how to program scripts that link into Asterisk, with an emphasis on PHP scripting. In general, these scripts are known as the Asterisk Gateway Interface or AGI. They can take care of arbitrary instantaneous tasks in tight collaboration with Asterisk. This makes it possible to expand upon Asterisk's existing set of call handling primitives. The book explains the workings of AGI in a fair amount of detail, and gives good guidance on best practices. It shows examples to get the reader started.
The book appears to have difficulty choosing between novice and experienced audiences; the AGI topic is a specific part of Asterisk, making it add depth of knowledge, but in spite of this the first 3 chapters or 84 pages are spent explaining introductory things about Asterisk, such as detailed step-by-step installation and IVR programming. As for the level of the book, it neither aims high nor low; the screenshots with somewhat trivial information and listings of information copied from documentation makes the book less dense than a skilled Unix-user would like it to be, but more accessible for those who are less seasoned on a commandline.
