    • Great technical overview of CMS ecosystem
This is a technical overview of the entire Web Content Management System (CMS) ecosystem . It is targeted towards readers who want to understand what a CMS is, how it might work in a larger context, and any underlying problems that a CMS will need to resolve. If you are looking for a technical programming manual, or a user guide of a particular CMS implementation, such as Drupal or Joomla, this book is not for you. The book has a in-depth coverage of the basics, functions and modules of CMS, as well as the scope and structure of a CMS implementation project. It is designed to be language and platform independent. Readers will learn how to make decisions about features, architecture and implementation that will provide the right solution to their specific problems. Overall, the book does a great job of providing a technical overview of CMS in general, without pushing a particular technology, platform or methodology. If you are either a manager, designer, developer or a contributor in a CMS related project, this book will provide you with the knowledge and perspective to make your project successful. ... show more

    • Overview of Online Content Management (but not a technical guide)
This book is a well rounded overview of online (web) content management for the various stakeholders within a company who will be involved with it at different levels. This is not however a technical how-to type of a book. It focuses at a general level, not the Xs and Os. It only occasionally mentions actual systems by name, and that's by design. For a technology book, it is quite readable, but it won't flow like a thriller or a page-turning book of fiction. There are various down to earth practical examples, and occasional goofiness with Mike Tyson and Rumsfeld's famous knowns and unknowns quote. It is mostly text but there are some diagrams and tables and screenshots, so consider this if you are deciding whether to read this on an e-ink e-reader (tablets should be fine). There is also a 193 word glossary available online, referenced in the last page of the Afterword at the back of the book. ... show more

    • Helpful for content creators and web developers
This book offers a very thorough look at the world of Web Content Management. As a website owner, I'm always trying to learn more about how to improve the user-experience and functionality of my site. This book is fairly technical, so it's helpful to have at least a little bit of a background in content creation and Web development. I've been using WordPress as my platform for the last few years, and I felt like this book helped me learn how to best utilize the resources and content that I have available to me. ... show more

    • A terrific overview for anyone charged with developing or managing a website that goes beyond the basics
Deane Barker is a hero. He has tackled an area – Content Management Systems – that has long been the province of tool publishers, marketers, platform zealots and the well-meaning, but ignorant. To the detriment of many, Content Management Systems is one of those areas where everyone has an opinion, but every opinion must be carefully scrutinized. Tool publishers boost their platform. Zealots laud their favorites and denigrate others because – well, just because is often the limit of their rationality. Those familiar with one CMS will slam others they know nothing about. Barker moves from start to finish, subject by subject, topic by topic across 338 well-written, amply illustrated pages. This is the book that may get me to venture beyond WordPress as my CMS of choice because I really didn’t understand why others would be a better fit for even my little league efforts. Seriously, if you have anything to do with development of websites that go beyond the simplest needs, you want to add this book to your library. Very well done, Mr. Barker. Jerry ... show more

    • Great book for a rare audience
In my 40 years of reading survey-type of technical books, this author is the best stylistic writer. It’s crystal clear, light-feel reading. Yet, I don’t know who this book is written for. Its 340 pages is filled with substance and is too detailed for a typical buyer of a CMS. Such buyers, in my opinion, needs a framework so as to ask questions of vendors or builders. This is such a framework book, but too lengthy. The book is also too broad or not detailed enough for builders or workers on CMS. It is an excellent primer for someone who wishes to become a comparative CMS consultant. Or for an experienced CMS consultant to ask questions of other CMS systems. And it is excellent for the super-fast reader who wants to read a detailed book and then do detailed shopping instead of simply finding a comparative CMS consultant for answers. Overall a 5 star book—the author wrote excellently on a topic he knows expertly. ... show more

    • Great Resource Distilling Years of Experience into a Very Readable Book
If you are ever tasked with building a website of sufficient complexity that you are hiring a team to build it, you need to read this book. You will be able to better anticipate issues, create realistic plans, and work better with both the CMS vendor and your implementation partner. If you are in the business of helping people build websites, read this book. More importantly, give it to your clients. When you receive a Request for Proposal (RFP), send them a copy of this book immediately. Then start working on your response. Deane has written a great resource distilling hard-won experience that is easy to read. Do yourself a favor and read it yourself. ... show more
