Maria,

unless the Packt book on OpenCms hasn't been reviewed and relaunched recently,
it only covers OpenCms 5.0. I've heard, that an update of the book
to OpenCms 6 is in the make, but I'm not sure about the status.
The book is good to understand the basic principles, but since OpenCms
has changed its appearance and functioning significantly since then
I would consider the book only as a piece in the puzzle to get the full
picture. You need the online Alkacon docs, javadoc of OpenCms, code
examples, the www.pomegranate.de site may also be of help. Well, and last
but not least this mailing list.
