[opencms-dev] Free Manuals OpenCms

[Jack]

Hi

I got hold of a copy of the book from Packt in electronic format. And it
is the newly released version covering OpenCms 6. Although I have not gone
through the entire book yet, it does cover adminitration and functionality
of OpenCms. And has some info on customizing your site, but the docs that
come with OpenCms go into more detail for when you ready for it.

I did however feel there was a need for more detailed information about
the inner workings of the system, as it left me with many unanswered
questions. Some of which I have managed to find in forums already
mentioned and on this list.

But I would recommend the book to beginners (of which I still am) and
anyone seriously considering using OpenCms.

Regards,
Jack
