Slightly different version you might find better. I'm not sure if the book needs a tagline given that the people buying the it already know exactly what it is. Normally I'd go for a hyper-simple cover, but given the nature of the audience I'd think a compelling/cool image might be more effective in driving sales. This is a bit of a rushjob and I can tweak and sharpen it later, just wanted to show some of the possibilities for my template.
Another thing is that I created all the component images myself (save for the heavily altered generic piecharts), so you won't run into any of the copyright problems you might get if someone just copy/pasted a background image off the internet.
