superficial treatment of an over ambitious topic,

This review is from: Choosing an Open Source CMS: Beginner's Guide (Paperback)
I bought this book for a significant discount directly from the publisher (PACKT) and immediately downloaded the PDF. It was unprotected and personalized with my name/address - but had many blank, missing or garbled pages. When I downloaded it again, it had the same problems, just different pages - but with 2 copies, I was able to red the entire book in a couple of hours.
The writing style is light and pleasant, but the content is superficial and disappointing. Maybe I was expecting too much (I'm trying to decide which CMSes to adopt), but I found very little useful advice I have not picked up already from casually browsing the Internet. I thought I was a beginner, but this book is targeted at someone without any knowledge of existing CMS options any any idea of how to start. The one choice nugget I took away was a reference to a website affiliated with the author - www.opensourcecms.com - a collection of open source CMS demos that you can immediately use without the hassle of downloading and installing on your own server. |
