Unfortunately, there were some changes made in Torque between the writing of the book and the release. If you use the examples in the book with the version of Torque in the book, you're OK. If you want to use the latest and greatest version of Torque, readers have contributed some errata to the strutskickstart.com site detailing the changes you have to make. As for Torque itself, it's pretty amazing to me. I love the fact that if I need to refactor the database for some reason, I can just edit the XML schema description and the mapping objects automagically reconfigure themselves after a new ant build. I wouldn't depend on it performance-wise for a million transaction an hour site, but for the bread-and-butter data mining and moderate traffic sites, I think it can save a ton of development time. The only real trick is to make sure you keep the Torque-specific stuff abstracted away (if you're careful, you can even use the Torque objects in Actions that way, and save a layer.)
