Weblogic Joomla Template Demo

One resource that I've found helpful is "Building Websites with Joomla! A step by step tutorial to getting your Joomla! CMS website up fast" (Birmingham: Packt, 2006). It covers a lot of territory. I'm wondering if other people have thoughts (pro/con) on the Packt book. And do you have other resources to recommend? I'm particularly interested in material that I can recommend to new users of the Joomla! CMS. We generally generate custom user guides for our clients, specific to their site, but I would like to expand my knowledge of available resources to provide to clients.

Here are a few resources:

And Barry North has a book that I have not read, but with his reputation I would think it is good.

Thanks - I've gone to the Barry North site you recommend and they provide a free download of a chapter, so I'm checking that out. This Barry North fellow seems like a significant resource!

Thanks for the link to the Joomla! primer.

Barry North and his partner in crime, Casey Lee, are JoomlaGods: www.JoomlaShack.com.

Barry's also got Compass Designs: www.compassdesigns.com


Even though they're in Vermont, the altitude seems to have not affected their minds. Actually, the template for JoomlaChicago was created by Casey.

Barry north is great. He really knows his stuff. We are members of the JCD-A together. I highly recommend him to all my clients and site visitors.

Mike,

What's JCD-A?

JCD-A stands for the Joint Commercial Developers Association

www.jcd-a.org

I am now a JCDA Registrant. I remember when Barry was pretty cheesed off about the whole licensing issue. Frankly, I haven't followed up on it at all recently. We'll have to start a thread on that issue.

You won't be admitted most likely unless you are a commercial developer.

But it would be a good ide to start a thread on the issue.
We've all been following it very closely and have pretty much figured out the reasons behind it.
