Book Review
I am excited to announce that I have been selected by Packt Publishing® to serve as a technical reviewer on an upcoming book on Joomla Extensions. Technical reviews (also called editorial and content reviews) are performed by individuals with technical knowledge or background. Reviewers assess the quality of the content in terms of its readability, communication of information, and suitability for the particular audience. This is the fourth book that I’ve reviewed and the first on technology and/or software. The previous books include:
  • Fundamentals of Corporate Finance (manuscript), Bodie, Merton, and Crawford, Prentice Hall®
  • Finance: Investments, Institutions, and Management, 2/e. Stanley G. Eakins, Addison-Wesley®

As we all know, Drupal® is known for it's brains and brawn and not for it's good looks. Great! Looks are much less important to the core of the program than aesthetics.
