Rating: - The title misses
Basically the book is a collection of the most common information already provided on the DotNetNuke site. Module development was basically non-existent.
Rating: - Confusing and 1/2 is not useful
This is supposed to be a book on developing a web site. He promises that you do not need to know programming or useless information about .NET. Then he devotes half the book to doing a Windows form for entering hours work, explaining basic HTML tags, reviewing the history of ASP - ASP.Net and uses some complex C# examples in object oriented techniques which have nothing to do with DotNetNuke and are never implemented again. This is what someone does who is paid by the publisher per word! This is ... Read More
Rating: - Good Starter Book
This book is a brief introduction into the world of DotNetNuke. It will get you started, but it will not lead you into advanced topics. This book is geared towards people curious and interested into DNN. This book is not for developers, unless DNN is completely new to you. The author is good about making steady progress throughout the book, not losing his audience. I must say, this book is for Novice to Competent User, not proffesional. Good Luck.

Rating: - Not enough
Well. If someone is going to buy a book on DotNetNuke in C#, probably that person is very unlikely to need a basic intro on the language.
So, the topic actually starts at page 143 (which on a ~370 pages book it almost means half of it).
Regretfully, I bought it since it has a chapter on modules programming in C# (DotNetNuke uses VB, so I liked the possibility of using another language). Wrong, the initial instructions corrupted my configuration files and the chapter got confusing. I basically ... Read More
