I'm certain that, like all the books in this series, this was a fine book in its time. But its time is past. There is very little at all in this book that will help any user of the newer version of Moveable Type .

2.0 out of 5 stars Superficially Useless
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2005
If you're wanting to learn Movable Type, this book won't help. All this book tells you is how many other books you need to buy (CSS and HTML).

See, Movable Type is a combination of web-standards HTML and CSS combined with its own proprietary tab system. So, really, it brings THREE different programming languages together (which is what makes MT so powerful). Howver, this book doesn't cover any of them.

What this book does give is a simplistic look at the different areas of MT. However, it doesn't give you enough tools to actually USE MT. For example, one would think the layout of the site would, you know, warrant a significant portion of the book. In actuality, the layout is only covered in chapters 10 and 11 and only the basics: changing colors and adding an image to the banner. That's it.

Sure, there are other issues (such as installation, migration, syndication and publishing) covered in the book but with such a minor look at the fundamentals, this book is near useless.

To put it simply: YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROGRAM MOVABLE TYPE.

Look at Movable Type's manual, web forums, [...] movalog.org and other CSS and HTML tutorials (learning CSS and HTML is CRITICAL!) for the real guide to Movable Type.
