Most Helpful Customer Reviews

An excellent resource explaining how Joomla works. Despite being stubbornly not interested in reading computer software manuals, this book is an easy read, extremely helpful, well worth the investment. I’ve owned a WordPress website or two years, this book along with setting up a test Linux Joomla box has helped persuade me to change my site to a Joomla CMS. Perfect book, for stubborn people like myself. It treats you as an adult, is in no way judgemental of your skills set and explains each sub topic expertly. Well done, and well worth the money.
