 A good resource but needs more August 20, 2008
I am new to Joomla but have experience in other PHP web frameforks. I anticipated a steep learning curve, but this book is well written for experienced developers and I was up to speed in a few days. Unfortunately I now need to find a much more informative technical manual for the next step in development.
After you get under the hood (first 6 chapters) there is not much left as it tends towards a generic web development manual. It could do with more practical examples on using MVC design pattern & Ajax.
 The best book on Joomla! I've read yet May 17, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This really is a definitive guide to the nitty gritty of Joomla! It isn't a beginners guide (unless you're a beginner to Joomla! with good PHP and MySQL skills), but is does cover pretty much everything you'll ever need to know from installation through to template creation and module, plugin and component creation. Definitely the book to graduate too if you've grown beyond the Beginning Joomla! titles.
My only criticisms are that the book is too short - many chapters leave you wanting more examples or ideas to develop - and that it really only covers Joomla! 1.5, somewhat understandably, and only tips a hat to those still managing 1.0 deployments.
If you want a primer for the programming side of Joomla! or are just looking for more in depth information can't recommend this book highly enough. If you want a beginners guide to Joomla! this probably shouldn't be the first Joomla! book you buy. It should, however, be the second.
