Excellent Book! Best book to date on Microsoft CMS.,
By Jallikundu (Columbia, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Building Websites with Microsoft Content Management Server: A fast-paced and practical tutorial guide for C# developers starting out with MCMS 2002 (Paperback)
Book is laid out very well. Plenty of practical examples which you can try as you read the book and implement a demo site. Goes far beyond any other book in explaining the CMS PAPI (Publishing API). Only grouse: It is written in C# which seems to be the norm for most CMS sites but in my implementation I use VB.Net although translating to vb.net is very easy.
I've interacted with the Authors (Stefan Gossner and Mei Ying) through the microsoft.public.cmserver.general news group for several of my problems and they are very knowledgable in the CMS product. I dont know them personally though! If you want to learn CMS2002 in detail this book is worth the buy.

Great Book,

This review is from: Building Websites with Microsoft Content Management Server: A fast-paced and practical tutorial guide for C# developers starting out with MCMS 2002 (Paperback)
This is a great book, which would help you start out with no experience in MCMS. The book has all the examples that you need to perform basic tasks and as well as complicated tasks. This book is straightforward and extremely helpful in tapping into both the Publishing API and as well as Deployment API.
Even if your experience is short, this book will help you starting out with installing, creating templates(explains them pretty well),establishing placeholders, creating postings, and everything else that you need to know to start and continue to work in MCMS. So far this is the best starter book that I have found. I also bought the Advanced MCMS book based on the positive experience that I had with this book.

The One True Book,
This review is from: Building Websites with Microsoft Content Management Server: A fast-paced and practical tutorial guide for C# developers starting out with MCMS 2002 (Paperback)
Using code samples from this book, I was able to make our CMS deployment (my first foray into .NET programming) in less than a month. This book includes some great controls that are necessary for good site design and maintenance, and has an excellent breakdown of base control properties. There's plenty in here to get one started with CMS design.
I'm very much looking forward to the sequel to this book in Nov 2005.
