More reviews to come

Not the books referred to in my last post although it could be (once I’ve read them :) ). Nope, I’ll be reviewing another book from Packt Publishing (my previous review was of TYPO3 Multimedia Cookbook): this one is Plone 3 Products Development Cookbook by Juan Pablo Giménez and Marcos F. Romero. It looks very interesting as far as I can tell: the strategy of the book is to create a working news site step by step, with each step being a recipe. So you can use bits from the book if you just happen to have a specific problem but your site is doing fine otherwise, or you can take it as a guide on how to go about creating sites with Plone.

With a bit of luck, I should have the book in two weeks and knowing my schedule it’ll be between three and four weeks after that before the review is on the site here.

I’ve been given the chance to review the new Typo3 Multimedia Cookbook that Packt is publishing. Right now it should be in the mail on it’s way to me and hopefully will arrive in a week or so. After that, I’ll be enjoying some serious tech reading on Typo3 :) I found the Typo3: Enterprise Content Management book from Packt quite useful, so I’m hoping the Multimedia Cookbook will be even better – we’ll see. The description of the book certainly does inspire a certain appetite for reading:

The book gives you a step-by-step process for organizing an effective multimedia system. It also gives solutions to commonly encountered problems, and offers a variety of tools for dealing with multimedia content.

There’ll be a minor delay before the review goes online, though, as I’m off on holidays next week for two weeks – so I expect I’ll be done with the review start March or so. Come back for more reading then :)
