Buddypress for dummies is not suitable for developers.
I don’t suggest buying it if you want to develop seriously.

I just read through it and my hope has turned to despair.
There is no listing and explanation of functions. There is no explanation of hooks, actions or filters.
Basically, for the first half of the book (literally) she tells you what WordPress is and how to install it.
For the 3rd quarter of the book, she tells you what the components are, what plugins are, how to use (wait for it) HTML tags, CSS, and other stuff.
Also, you learn how to use the admin panel. Yay…
I really didn’t like it.
