SugarCRM is an open-source software-solution vendor which produces the Sugar Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. SugarCRM develops CRM software in four editions: * Sugar Community Edition * Sugar Express * Sugar Professional * Sugar Enterprise Implementing SugarCRM is a book that clearly defines what Customer Relationship Management is and why it is here to stay. This book distils hard won SugarCRM experienced into an easy-to-follow guide to implementing the full power of SugarCRM. It will give you all the information you need to start using this powerful, free CRM system and will help you broaden your understanding of the topic. You can read more about the book here: http://www.packtpub.com/sugarcrm/book CakePHP is an open-source web application framework for producing web applications written in PHP. It is written in PHP, modelled after the concepts of Ruby on Rails, and distributed under the MIT License. I really like how the chapters are divided in ‘Time for action’ and ‘What just happened’. You start building working applications right away and after you are done, there’s a clear explanation of what you just built…perfect for a practical person like me. All in all, I would recommend this book to everyone who’s new to CakePHP because it’s a really good startup. You can read more about the book here: http://www.packtpub.com/cakephp-application-development/book These books from “Packt” provide an insight to the basics with the help of implementation, which I think is a good way as it provides clarity to one’s thought. The writing is easy-to-follow and very readable and the authors have done a good job anticipating the type of questions a beginner might have. All the modules have been explained in-depth which can help one master these applications. I can certainly say that this considerably reduced the time frame for learning them. I really love and appreciate the way they go the extra mile to put up the screenshots!!! Amazing…keep it up guys! I strongly recommend Packt titles.
