Rating: - Great Resource
Our small company decided to use DNN to improve their static HTML based site. This book really helped all of us - sales people, account managers, as well as the data services people - how to get it started, get a feel of how to work with modules, install, customize, create/add roles, skin explanation, etc.
So far the results have been excellent - we've created a workable site where our clients can easily get reports and the data we need - and it is easy to work with.

It's already kind of outdated, but that's the nature of technology.
This book does provide a very solid introduction, and it really does give you everything you need to start a basic site.

I had no idea what a "skin" was or how to use a "container." "DotNetNuke for Dummies" turned me into a web designer. [...]
Rating: - Not written for non-programmers, really
The problem with "Dummies" and similar books written by people who are experts in their areas is that they've forgotten what it's like not to be a beginner. Consequently, they're often filled with jargon that goes unexplained, processes that leave out steps, and things that just make you go "huh?"
This book is no exception to that. While there is a lot of useful information, there are some puzzling gaps that will leave you scratching your head. It assumes more knowledge than the authors let ... Read More
