Macromedia's Contribute allows Web Professionals to save the time spent performing content updates, by devolving the responsibility and know-how back to the content owners. You identify which areas of which pages users are allowed to update, and they can do this with no technical know-how and with no risk of breaking the site. The net result? They get content updated when they need it - and you get time to spend on Web Design. After all, isn't that why you got into the Web in the first place? This book teaches you all you need to know on setting up the system ... and, uniquely, you're entitled to unlimited free downloads of the glasshaus Contribute End-User Training Guide. By distributing it to the content owners, you empower them and liberate yourself.

I enjoyed this book and recommend it to others. It's an easy read even if you are a beginner, but isn't too simple for more advanced users. It provides essential material on how to set up Contribute and customizing it which was a great help. These authors produced a book that offers both practical and readable understanding. The only complaint I can say about the book was the tutorials are not available from Glasshaus, but from what I heard they went out of business so I guess I shouldn't have expected too much out of them.
