I’m happy to announce the availability of the book: “PostNuke Content Management.” I’ve been working on this book for the past year with Sams Publishing, and it finally went on sale today.

The book provides a comprehensive walk-through of the PostNuke CMS. Part I, "Exploring PostNuke," takes you from server setup to the full install. There is a general overview of PostNuke terminology and all of the core modules and blocks. Part II, "Basic PostNuke," covers commonly used core and third-party modules and how to set up basic permissions and application of a site theme. Part III, "Custom PostNuke," expands the module selection to include other useful components, such as commercial tools. Advanced theme design is covered and the sometimes complex permission system is explained. Part IV, "Advanced PostNuke," provides general instructions for fitting PostNuke into any site model. Selective application of PostNuke components is discussed, and walkthroughs of a variety of changes and hacks of the code are covered.

“PostNuke Content Management” was originally designed for support of PostNuke 0.726, but it has been updated for version 0.75 and includes additional new information specifically for the new version of PostNuke. The book enhances and builds upon the core PostNuke documentation to provide a hands-on approach to site development. It’s my sincere hope that this book can help users and developers overcome any issues they may have with PostNuke and use the information to fully master the CMS.
