Customer Review: I have learnt a lot from this book but it is not easy to read it. I think it is me only.
Moreover, the size of the book is odd. anyway, it is decent.
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: 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: 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: While this box set isn't everything you will need to know about being successful with MOSS, this is a great starting point. You will learn the main areas of MOSS from some outstanding authors. It's a great value. MOSS is HUGE and if you are not sure where to start, start here, you won't be sorry.
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: 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: 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 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: I usually try to find books that are focused on some specific topic, but in this book there was not much of about Content Management Systems. Most of chapters contained info about other topics: licensing, XML, XSLT, CSS. They where connected to building CMS, but I have very good knowledge in these... more info
Customer Review: I was looking for an intro to CMSes, and found this book only somewhat helpful. It was full of general advice like "make sure to watch out for this issue", but lacking concrete stories to ground the discussion. Maybe I was reading an older edition, but it seemed dated. There was some discussion... 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 has too many flaws to count. It has no focus. It contradicts itself in many places (sometimes within the same paragraph!). The organization of the chapters is completely alien and ensures a beginner will be confused. The rambling, repetitive prose and authors' habit of inventing and making... 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
