2.0 out of 5 stars Just Print Online Help Files, April 10, 2007
This review is from: Open Source Pro: Joomla (Paperback)
No real insight offered. You are better off printing online manuals and saving yourself the money. Hastily sketches the basics, but doesn't provide outline or structure of the Joomla site so one can create more complex sites.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so helpful..., May 12, 2007

This review is from: Open Source Pro: Joomla (Paperback)
I wanted a book that will help me get started with Joomla. This book wasn't what I expected - it was just too basic. It did help me to learn Joomla's vocabulary, but that's it. Not recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the paper it's printed on, April 30, 2007
This review is from: Open Source Pro: Joomla (Paperback)
This book offers nothing but an overview of Joomla, and a poor one at that. It is poorly written and offers no depth into even the most basic functionality. I bought the book, and after flipping through it, quickly realized I was better off turning back to the web for knowledge on Joomla. Every now and then, when trying to figure out something in Joomla, I'll flip the book open and realize how foolish I am to think I'd find any answers of use - like returning to an empty refrigerator when hungry, expecting there to be more there than when you last looked.
