5.0 out of 5 stars The best introduction to the classic Elgg codebase, 1 May 2008
By Ben Werdmuller - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm the technical lead on Elgg, and have read this book through cover to cover. Independent but accurate and thorough, I absolutely endorse it as a great way to get into the product. Recommended to anyone who wants to start their own social networking site quickly and easily.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very complete coverage of Elgg, 27 Nov 2008
By Stephen Lee "fullmeasure.co.uk" (Exeter, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Very thorough coverage that's broad and deep enough to get you familiar with all aspecs of this great Open Source Social Networking software. Good writing style is easy to read.

For my personal needs I'd have preferred something a little more dense but then I have been using Elgg instance Eduspaces.net for blogging for a long time. I'm usually happy to explore the software itself and so need something to fill in the gaps and concepts, rather than explain how to add a picture. Still I discovered some areas of Elgg that I had not explored.

I also want to install and customise my own instance so need something that goes deeper, but I now think that would be another book (and I at least have the source code).

One error is spotted is that eduspaces.net is alive and well. I guess the book was written during the time there were bug uncertainties about it's future.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to Elgg, 14 Nov 2008
By Mr. T. C. Piper (Edinburgh, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Elgg Social Networking book is a fantastic overview into the software. The book is definitely aimed at people interested in administering their own Social Networks, lacking lots of code examples that developers might expect - but it more than makes up with the breadth of information packed in the book about Elgg.
