Customer Reviews

Not really for Developers
An interesting enough background history of DNN with a bit of technical information thrown in and put into context. But don't buy this book if you expect it to help you build your own modules.

Disappointed
If you are hoping to get help installing DotNetNike you will be disappointed in this book.

not enough for anybody
hard to read, not complete, messy but still something that brings you forward when you have no access to other resources.
Still compared with what you can download for free from the DNN homepage (especially the training videos) this book is a waste of money and time for the novice as well as for the experienced professional.
