What People are Saying
"You know you are reading a great computer-related book when you can
read and understand and make copious notes in the book margins...without
sitting in front of a computer! Not only did it "fill in the blanks"
about much of my understanding re: Joomla (any version), but I felt
excited, and much more confident, about using Joomla 1.5. Great
overview of Joomla, great details, great tips! A well-written user's
guide. Thank you!" - By Vicky L. Thomas "Cossino" (NC, USA)
"I had created several Joomla! sites before getting
this book, I wish that had happened the other way around. I'm much more
efficient now and I was able to use the information in the book to sell
2 websites within a week of reading it.
I'd definitely recommend this book. It has a lot of information that
will make you much more efficient and effective at designing your
Joomla! sites." - By Damon Chance "Wannabe Web Designer" (Tulsa, OK)
"Barrie has hit a home run with this book. If you are new to Joomla, this is the book you need to have on
your shelf. While the online documentation for Joomla is detailed and
available for all it lacks the overview and practical application
knowledge that Barrie's book provides.
The book is well thought out and provides a wealth of information
that only someone that has spent countless hours under the hood of the
application can provide.
Everyone that is working or struggling to get a Joomla website live
or modify an existing site, including customization of templates needs
to have this book." - By Steven Snyder "CTO/CIO" (Boston, MA USA)
