Packt’s running a special offer for this week (till 28th June). 60% off on the ebook version of Choosing an Open Source CMS book. David Barnes twitted about this and said the book is “good, underrated classic”.
Dee-Ann LeBlanc reviewed Choosing an Open Source CMS – Beginner’s Guide on CMSWire yesterday. The review summarizes:
Overall, the strength of this book is in its core purpose, choosing an open source CMS. While reorganization and refocus would make it stronger, it’s still quite useful as it is. If I had a friend who was confused on what to choose, this would be one resource I would point them to.
She talks about how we take a project oriented approach to get the reader started with CMS concepts, their requirements and going through all alternatives to make a choice. Dee-Ann is a senior writer and also critics the book on it’s organization. I think her suggestions are very useful and we could take up better organizing the book. I will try to cover some gaps via this blog as well.
Have you read the book? What do you think?
