    • A terrific overview for anyone charged with developing or managing a website that goes beyond the basics
Format: Paperback
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
Format: Paperback
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

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

    • Primarily for managers who will be affected by the implentation of CMS in the organization
Format: Paperback
If you want a general introduction to CMS, some of the more popular packages, and to learn how to use them and what they can do - this isn't the book for you. Unfortunately, I'm in that category, so this book was not very useful for me. But for the target audience, organizational stakeholders in the decision to implement CMS, then this book is for you. Whether you are a technical lead/director, or anyone in the organization who will be affected by an implementation of CMS, you should read this book. That goes even for people who control the purse strings. How else will they be able to fully understand the potential ROI? Even if you have peripheral involvement, but you have to attend meetings on the subject for situational awareness, you want to know what's in this book. The writing is straightforward and concise, the coverage not too deep, but it touches on everything. ... show more

    • Not technical but need to know about your CMS? Read this!
Format: Paperback
I don't often say "if you can only read one book on topic X, this should be the one" but found myself thinking this as I read Web Content Management. The author has managed to explain the principles behind content management to the audience that I often encounter - the non-technical people with recommendation or budget influence who know enough to be dangerous but not enough to be helpful in decision-making. I'm hoping that these are the folks who will read the book and then have more productive and informed discussions when making decisions about the CMS they have or need. And for those who do have the same depth of technical knowledge as the author, this is a helpful book to use to frame issues and discussions with colleagues or clients. It's got a prominent place on my bookshelf. ... show more

    • Great technical overview of CMS ecosystem
Format: Paperback
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

    • Excellent for Professionals
Format: Paperback
This was a great book for me because I learn best by reading (as opposed to demonstration). If you already know programming, or don't have a need to know it, this is a great resource. It goes into the basics and many of the specifics of web content management, laying out the information in a professional, understandable, and easily-understood manner. I'd recommend this for anyone who simply wants to learn, or who needs to know web content management to better perform their duties. ... show more
