Author: William H Rice IV Publisher: Packt Price: $44.99 (US) £27.99 (UK) The strapline for this books is "A complete guide to successful learning using Moodle 1.9" I'm uncomfortable with anything that is referred to as being 'complete' because I suspect few things are ever truly complete. I would also prefer to see it referred to as a guide to teaching using Moodle 1.9, because the book is firmly...

Jonathan Snook has written up a book review of a recent Packt Publishing book "CakePHP Application Development". The folks at Packt were kind enough to send me a copy and it turned out to be a fairly quick read. It's 300 pages of good starting knowledge. The book is targeted as an introduction to the framework and not meant as a definitive guide (to which the book would likely need to be three times...

The folks at Packt Publishing sent me a copy of Learning Website Development with Django by Ayman Hourieh. It’s a fairly thin book, weighing in at just 243 pages, but it it is a very good introduction to Django. Knowledge of Python is assumed, so if you need that information, you’ll need another book. Hourieh [...]

Thankfully, not one but two books came out recently including CakePHP Application Development by Packt Publishing . The folks at Packt were kind enough to send me a copy and it turned out to be a fairly quick read. It's 300 pages of good starting knowledge....

On the PHPClasses.org website there's a new book review posted from Alexandre Altair de Melo about a new book from Packt Publishing - "PHP 5 CMS Framework Development" (by Martin Brampton ). Often developers have to think about several aspects of the architecture of a system for the Web, not necessarily restricted to requirements of the software. With this in mind the book "PHP 5 CMS - Framework Development"...

Elgg.org : Last year, when I was a judge in Packt’s awards , I was in the “social networking” category, which was odd since I didn’t know a thing about it. But I was still impressed with Elgg, and I voted for it. Flash forward a year, and I now a lot more about social networking. And Elgg has a new version out, and it’s even better than the last one. I set a demo with it for a client, and they (and...

The book was published prior to Facebook's facelift but this doesn't really impact on the usefulness of the book.
