I am a beginner with Joomla. I started reading Packt’s “Building Websites with Joomla! 1.5″, which provided me with the complete picture which I guess the other so called “number 1 books” don’t provide.
This books starts with the basics of Joomla, its installation and ends with the extensions which can be used to build a world class web application.
This book has also explained the pros and cons of Joomla in depth, which I truly appreciate.
It explains each and every module and its uses.
For example, to use the contact form, this book gives you each and every step on how to go about creating it.
A must buy for anyone interested in building web applications with Joomla.
