Get the Joomla 1.5 Book from Amazon

February 20, 2008 By barrie@compassdesigns.net Leave a Comment

Turns out, it can be pretty hard! With the Joomla project in a transition period before its latest version (coined 1.5), I was trying to write a book about a moving target. The code base was changing and the version evolving.

After over a year in development, the have-to-have book about 1.5 is finally hitting shelves and shipping from the publishers and Amazon.com.

The stable version of Joomla 1.5 is weeks away, and I am very pleased to announce the availability of my book to go along with this momentous occasion.

I think that this book offers amazing value and I have packed it along with some great downloads you get with the book:

You get free access to the companion site, www.joomlabook.com. This site features:

  • an active forum where you can ask questions specific to chapters from the book from a Joomla expert (well, me anyway)
  • 5 fully functional Joomla 1.5 live follow-along examples from the book. You can browse the sites and their backends live online.
  • downloads of 5 free sample chapters and files for Joomla 1.5. These are SQL dumps you can import to instantly give you a completed Joomla site. This means you can create a school, blog or small business site instantly!
  • 4 free tutorial templates and 3 free templates from joomlashack.com including our popular commercial template – JS Aqualine!

Get the Joomla Book from Amazon for $26

If you prefer something more old fashioned that you can hold in your hand, Amazon are currently offering 35% off with free shipping.

Get the ebook from Prentice

If you prefer to get your books instantly, simply go to the Prentice online store and you’ll be able to get an instant download.

Please note, the PDF download is encoded and you won’t be able to download it to different computers!

Need Something for Joomla 1.0?

If you are currently working with 1.0, you can still get the Joomla Administrator’s Manual for only $27 in ebook form. If you need to get a hard copy head to LuLu.

At over 2000 copies sold and many satisfied readers, you won’t be disappointed.
