 A good start to learning Joomla, with maybe one l'il flaw
This book is a great way to get introduced to Joomla if, like me, you are only used to creating static content websites. With the help of this book I got a site up and running in a really short time and was mostly pleased with the results. If there is one flaw with this book it is that it covers too much and falls short on some of the finer points of content management. I searched forever through the book to find out how to achieve a couple of things that were relatively simple, but on teh whole this book is a great product and I highly recommend it.
 very poor Joomla book
This is a very poor training book for anybody that not a complete beginner to Joomla. Dan Rahmel is an experience computer book writer and this is one of his worse books. it goes into number of subjects that don't really have anything to do with Joomla. The controlling editor obviously had no control over Mr Rahmel need to explain every type of open source program that you can use with jooomla!
 Not for professionals
As a web graphic designer, I want to expand my skills into CMS systems. I thought this book would be a good start, but after reading it, I learned little more than how to install Joomla and basic interactions. The book is states it's for "Novice to Professional," but a more accurate description would be "a getting started guide".
Frustratingly lightweight
These technical books are expensive (I paid full price for this in a bookstore) but worth every penny when they provide the answers to those inevitable snags you hit on a project. This book, however, almost never had the answers I needed. Mainly it points out the features in the Joomla admin interface, but that I could figure out on my own. I wanted to know things like how to download a template and customize it for my site. Instead the book tells you where the CSS code is and that you "can edit it" -- duh! In not anticipating and helping me through typical development tangles, I found the book an expensive, boring, barely helpful description of the Joomla admin tools. Save some money -- there are much better helps available free by searching Google.
 Great Book for the Beginner
Great book, very informative. Was able to begin working on an existing Joomla site in short order. Also has info on how to use Google Analytics for web stats!
