Overview

Conclusion

First of all this book is more for project managers then programmers as the book is more about Content Management in general and not specifically on programming content management systems. The book is very extensive, sometimes too extensive, especially for smaller content management solutions. The readability could be improved by using the side bars of the book and supporting the content with better graphics and illustrations. All in all, this book is very interesting to read, although the shear size of it is not for your coffee table it can be very useful during a project as a reference.
