Customer Reviews

to all dummies...

Very helpful for those of us just learning how to do a website. Great for someone over 50

Great Resource

Our small company decided to use DNN to improve their static HTML based site. This book really helped all of us - sales people, account managers, as well as the data services people - how to get it started, get a feel of how to work with modules, install, customize, create/add roles, skin explanation, etc. So far the results have been excellent - we've created a workable site where our clients can easily get reports and the data we need - and it is easy to work with. This book was a great help in getting the basics down and point to other resources for more questions or advanced topics.

DotNetNuke for Dummies

This is one really great book for anyone getting started with DotNetNuke. All of the most important information is covered very clearly and concisely.

DotNetNuke beginer

The first week of January, I asked my web host to create a web site for my race car team that I could design and update myself. They use DotNetNuke. I knew nothing about running a web site. I had no idea what a "skin" was or how to use a "container." "DotNetNuke for Dummies" turned me into a web designer. [...]

Great for DNN Site Admins

If you are looking for a book to give to your end users on "how to use DNN" and are not looking for programming knowledge, this is the book for you. I would recommend every person that has to edit a page in DNN to read this book in order to understand it's capabilities and the power that DNN has to offer.
