Amazon is still selling this for ver 1.0.8?
Sorry, but Joomla is now at 1.5.10 and ver 1.5.x is TOTALLY different from ver 1.0.x.
May have been a good book in its day, but now belongs in the bin with "Guide to Windows for Workgroups 3.11"

Probably this book was a very simple guide in order to build a Template for Joomla! 1.0, but it doesn't work at all with the new version of Joomla! 1.5
But, thinking deeper, I would neither recomend it to those of you that are working with Joomla! 1.0 This is not a good tutorial at all, it is concerned in very basic computers topics through all the book.
Conclusion: Don't buy this book. Just google "Joomla! 1.5 Tutorial" and you will find lots of better guides.

The only regret I have is that I need information on Joomla 1.5 not 1.0.8. How ever much of the information in this book can be used and I found the book well written and in plain English. Hope to see an update for 1.5 from this author, I will purchase immediately!

The style of the book worked very well for me. It was a great balance of solid instructions and visual examples that made it very easy to understand and follow. I have other books by this author and highly recommend for the novice to those more advanced who may need a refresher.
Kudos to the author and Amazon for carrying this selection!

I have 3 books on Joomla and this is the only book that truly helped me through getting an original design (from another party) into one of my Joomla sites. I run three sites with Joomla, all for non-profit organizations and therefore have to do my work on night and weekends. I'm a web professional and know the concepts of building sites but I'm a manager and don't build sites everyday for a living. This book got me through the template basics in way that allowed me to implement an original design that had no references to typical Joomla page layout areas, in a couple of days. By taking you through the process of designing a Joomla template from scratch I was finally able to understand how a web page was generated by Joomla and how I could eliminate much of the "noise" in the default setup. It's possible that a web beginner may find some things difficult and perhaps a comprehensive description of the Joomla content engine will not be found but I heartily recommend this book if you need a jump start of creating templates for Joomla.
