Customer Reviews & Comments
If you enjoy acres of whitespace and lotsa forms that you can photocopy and fill out to track such things as where your backups are stored this might be the book for you. Or if you don't do backups this book might get you started. By page 13 I was thinking "Come on already!" I would guess that perhaps 90% of the pages are dedicated a general description of how important it is to do a professional job of protecting a website site, making and testing backups, and so on. These are all good things to know, but if you know them already and are interested in securing a Joomla! Site you will learn little here that you can't online. There are LOTS of forms to copy and fill out. That said I learned a trick or two and put Post-its on a half-dozen pages, having mostly to do with permissions settings, so there is value in there, you just need to dig quite a bit. I was thrilled to find the title, not so thrilled to read the book. A little like expecting Haggan Das and biting into low cal nonfat frozen yogurt.
