3.0 out of 5 stars The essentials, and not much more, 25 Nov 2004
By Alexander Hoogerhuis (Norway) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've been skimming the book for a few hours, and it certainly came across as being the essentials. The book itself is in fairly nonstandard format (squareish, big margins) and is on the south side of 200 pages.

The book is nicely organised and walks the reader through what a CMS is, when to use it and quickly throgh the anatomy of Plone, then proceeds to go though the various platforms it can run on and how to install.

After this its on for a great number of pages to describe the default plone site and its various elements and onwards for showcasing a number of addons such as the CMF Collective (issue tracker), photo albums and various other nice-to-have bits on a Plone site.

It also briskly moves through hos to do basic customizationand how to make the site look "yours" and less "plone-ish", and onwards for a nice walk through Zope Page Templates, Plone Templates and other means of adding content before rounding off with a run through admin of the plone site and its related Zope bits.

So is this enough? if you want to get started and actually skim nicely though what Plone is and how it is behaves, then the book is a nice starting place. If you are looking for more details on what goes on uner the hood, and more detail around the system, then this book does not run deep enough, then Any McKay's book is more appropriate.

Andy McKay's book goes far deeper into the details of how to apply the various tools and methods available to create what you want, this book is actually not much more than what you would find by reading what is already out there in the documentation section on the Plone site and various products this book covers. The book puts it all between two covers, but not much more.
