![]() Rating: - Joomla Rocks!I am investigating various solutions for a church website. Open source CMS systems appear to be the way to go with Joomla the leading candidate. This book was purchased to inform the evaluation process. The book and corresponding web site and down loadable examples are fantastic. The book has a conversational style that I found easy to read. Joomla is a complex product and it helps to have some hand holding to get a first tour. If you are contemplating a purchase this book is an ... Read More Rating: - if you teach Joomla, do not get this bookI totally agree with B. Com, Seacoastbo, John Sutton and Pinar Yoldas. I couldn't express my frustration better than they did. This book was selected by a previous instructor who taught the intro so I didn't have any choice. I was supposed to teach more advanced features such as templates and extensions. I thought I would just take the projects in the book and go through them with the students. However, my frustration level got so high that I decided to spend time writing ... Read More Rating: - Complete & Understandable...This book gives thorough coverage on the Joomla content management system. The most difficult concept to get is how the system actually displays content using articles, components, modules & menus. Don't give up on Joomla until you've read this book! The author explains these concepts & more in a logical format that is easy to follow. I tried one of the Dan Rahmel books 1st & it was worthless. This is a ginormously better book!!! Rating: - excellent bookThis book really got me started with Joomla. There are some gotchas with a CMS that don't make intuitive sense until someone lays it out for you step by step, and this book did that very well. I'm a technical person but mostly I work in system administration... Web programming is not my area of expertise and beyond a little html I wrote a hundred years ago, I went into Joomla with zero preparedness. But with this book mostly read, my new site is well underway and my thanks go out to Barrie. Rating: - The best of the best!I have been working with Joomla for 2 years now. Creating a great design has always been a struggle for me. I won't say this is the only book you will need but I will say it should be at the top of your list of resources in your arsenal! Barrie has a way of explaining the information in a way that makes it understandable. The overall content is rich and very detailed! I can find what I am looking for and the explanation is thorough! One of the strongest points is not only the resource of an experienced ... Read More
