Written in a clear, easy to read style, the book takes you through the essential tasks required to create a XOOPS website as quickly as possible. Each task is tackled in a clear and practical way.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is relatively short book about Xoops. I have never before used Xoops nor anything similar and found this book to be a good quick introduction. The organization of this book probably would not be easy to search for answers to future questions but it can get you started quickly. After reading the book and trying to build a web site I abandoned Xoops. I worried the current dependence of Xoops on tables for layout would lead to re-doing a lot of work when the system changes to use CSS for layout. Perhaps I do not understand how to use Xoops but it also appeared that I would have to put significant time into making modifications to accomplish my goals. The book gave me enough background that I felt I would be able to make the modification to do anything I wanted, but I felt the same amount of time would be better spent on Ruby on Rails.
If your building a website with xoops you need it
