I am not a master in Joomla but I know well the subject of web 2.0. I’ve read this book a couple of times, and I was able to build a website from scratch using Joomla. I’ve also compared it with other Joomla and web 2.0 books. It is not the ideal tutorial for Joomla professional web designers, but it is an excellent guide for web 2.0. It demonstrates how to use crowd-sourcing, social networking, and other web 2.0 to create values in product development, fund-raisers, marketing campaigns, sales, and support. To get a better idea use the Amazon “search inside” feature and read the first chapter. I think the author has explained well how to use web 2.0 in business process innovation.
The book does not have a demo website but you can get the code from the publisher’s website if you email them.

I will not set here and say I am a Joomla master by any means. I will tell you I have a dozen or so books on the subject and this book is not only poorly written, but the author has no real understanding of Joomla.
With the size of the font, you would think it was written for a 5 year old. It is obvious it was written to just take up space and make it look like a bigger book than its content is worth.
One third of the book just shows html code that is incomplete and left me wondering why the author thought it would work in Joomla or a browser for that matter?
He rambles on and on in the topics with no direction, constantly repeating his words and in the end left me with more questions than answers. There is very little relevance to show this writer even has an understanding of Web 2.0 let alone the ability to write about it.
If you don’t believe me just go to his web site [...]. What you see is exactly what he calls a Web 2.0 web site, because the shady examples in the book are this web site. The book tells me to go to the site and I can download the code used in the book. As of this comment there is no link anywhere on the site.
Folks there are a ton of great books on Amazon to help you build with Joomla, this is without a doubt the most useless book I have ever read. It took my two and a half hours to go from cover to cover. I learned absolutely nothing! Jackley Cesar Shame on you for this worthless book! It may be worth 2 dollars not a penny more! If there was a negative position on the star rating you would still rank below that! Sadly enough I have to give you at least one star just to be able to warn people of the mistake they are about to make!
