More than just screen shot explanations
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Using "Search inside this book" helped me decide for myself to purchase in what appeared to be conflicting love/hate reviews. The screens of the actual product do walk an administrator thru the steps, so that may seem repetitive or a "waste" to some, but the extra tips and explanations about why you'd do something and the alternatives offered make this a worthwhile purchase for me. Perhaps I could find a lot of the same info on the forums, but I wanted something cohesively packaged that I can follow along with - rather than the hunting expedition style of a forum. This book easily translates to Joomla! It is very useful if you are just getting started and need help with design.
Super quick reference for the part time administrator

I have bought several Mambo and Joomla books. This is by far the best for anyone who needs to do day-to-day administration of a Mambo or Joomla site and does not want to make a career out of it.
Horrible English? Hogwash. Good book!

Brett says, "eg section and category are not proper nouns and should not be capitalized." While those two words aren't ordinarily proper nouns, they certainly are in Mambo and are properly used as such in this excellent book. My only issue is that it gives no help with installing Mambo under Windows, which is unfortunately the environment I'm forced to use at work.
Good How To
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book is focused on how to accomplish tasks -- how to create a new page, how to edit a page, how to manage menus, etc., etc. It provides a lot of other information in the process with tips on how to best use the system. I don't normally care all that much for "visual" style books, but with a system as complex as Mambo this is actually very effective. You can either follow their steps or use it as the basis for doing your own thing. Recommended!
Comprehensive Users Guide

This is not for programmers but is for administrators and Mambo users. Very complete. Covers a lot of things I did not know (and I have used the system for quite a while). By far the most complete work on the subject. Covers the newest version as well, including the new editor. Well worth it -- and long overdue! Thanks!
