Thanks for visiting www.joomlabook.com.
If you are here, you have either purchased Joomla 1.5- A User's Guide, or hopefully are just about to! This site is the companion site for this new book about Joomla 1.5
published by Prentice Hall. This site is an important part of the book,
an experiment in print and web publishing!
Get the Joomla 1.5 book
The have-to-have book about 1.5 is now in its 2nd edition and shipping! I think that this book offers amazing value and I have packed it along with some great downloads you get with the book.
You get free access to the companion site, www.joomlabook.com. This site features:
- an active forum where you can ask questions specific to chapters from the book from a Joomla expert (well, me anyway)
- 5 fully functional Joomla 1.5 live follow-along examples from the book. You can browse the sites and their backends live online.
- downloads of 5 free websites for Joomla 1.5 based on various chapter of the book. These are SQL dumps you can import to instantly give you a completed Joomla site. This means you can create a school, blog or small business site instantly!
- 4 free tutorial templates and 3 free templates from joomlashack.com including our popular commercial template - JS Aqualine!
Where can you get these?
You can get the Book and the Video separately from Amazon:
