Customer Review: With this being a new topic in the web world I will give some leeway. I think the book is readable yes, repetitive definitely - but it does offer some good tidbits to add to your knowledge arsenal. I do agree with some reviewers that many strategy questions are left unanswered or answered in an... more info
Customer Review: I made the grave mistake of buying this book. I wanted a book that would show me how to use Joomla. It's something else entirely, and it's about the size of the Yellow Pages. Not for n00bs.
Customer Review: Ashley Friedlein guide is a must-read for anybody managing a website or looking to start one up. It is a detailed exposition which explores concepts such as Change Management in a lucid and informative manner. Highly recommended.
Customer Review: When I started reading this book I had the sentiment it will be a comparison between the JSF UI client and Share. However, the authors guide the reader through the complete deployment lifecycle, from the installation of Alfresco and MySql to the usage of the exposed interfaces or protocols like... more info
Customer Review: We are looking to use SharePoint 2007 for our external facing web site and this book helped up out tremendously. When I was just started learning SharePoint in the beginning I thought it was just all web parts, but I was wrong. After reading this book I found that Page Layouts, content types, and... more info
Customer Review: Personally, because I am a beginner at content management, this book seemed a little too technical for me. It is meant to teach someone the process of content management, but somehow it still seems a bit high-level. In any case, the content itself is a good indicator of how the process works. Here... more info
Customer Review: The box set arrived in perfect condition sealed in plastic, but it took a few days before it shipped and a few days longer than I thought it would take to arrive once shipped via "Media Shipping." If you have time to wait and need a rock-bottom price, order from that seller. If not, spend a few more... more info
Customer Review: I'm afraid this book really does read like it had 5 authors. Yes, it's probably complete, which would suit those already familiar with Textpattern, as were most of the reviewers here. But for those wanting to get started with Textpattern I think it is badly written. And needn't have been. Maybe... more info
Customer Review: I'm not sure if I got confused or just skipped them, but please read this review and the others. THIS IS NOT A GOOD BOOK. Most of the content feels like it was pulled straight from [...], it is out dated and has bad recommendations in it. You'd be much better off just browsing the web for... more info
Customer Review: I use Typo3 for a living and all I can say is this book is terrible. I am a strong book learner, I've learned most everything about any language, software or schema through O'Reilly, Friends of Ed or Sitepoint books. I could not learn Typo3 from this book. I know, you're thinking "But Typo3 is so... more info
Customer Review: No matter what the creators of Documentum try to tell you, Documentum is not a Content Management System, it is a File Management system. If they insist on it being used as a CMS, then it is the most non-user friendly CMS I have ever laid eyes on. Between Associated Content and Associated Excerpt... more info
Customer Review: Ever since Martin Fowler came out with his seminal book on patterns, others have taken this general idea and looked for more programming patterns. This book is the latest in Wiley's series that applies this approach. Here the context is specialised to the design of web sites, where Ajax is used in... more info
Customer Review: Will this book expand your knowledge of advanced PHP programming? Absolutely.
A rich set of object-oriented features, combined with successful implementation makes scalable PHP5 programming highly effective, if not downright enjoyable! Software veteran Martin Brampton (former lead architect... more info
Customer Review: Unlike many books of this type, this book was actually well writen and interesting to read! Nakano makes what could have been very dry discussions more entertaining by including real-life scenarios. The book takes you through web development processes, all the way from the one-man shop to the... more info
Customer Review: It doesn't take long for a computer book to become dated and this one is no different. It's still a good book though. I've read a few Joomla books now and it seems each has something to offer that the others don't have. The other Joomla books I have will become dated in a few months when version 1.6... more info
Customer Review: This book is good, it cleared my doubts and have enabled me to learn how it is implemented throught it's internal workings. At least, the author does a better job than some "TOP SECRET agents" with their "classified documents".
