Now it is a good book.
It is written by a woman. If you say so, it sounds as if women rarely write books. Anyway, the book called “Beginning WordPress 3 – Make great websites the easy way” by Stephanie Leary and available from Apress.
In fact, it is the best WordPress book I ever read.
Many images gave me directly a good impression. Easy read and very educational. And it will tell you a lot of advanced secrets in WordPress.
Many of WordPress books are writing about the same thing with different authors. It is sufficient if you read one. But this one is very different. Even it covers multiblog and user management, use it as CMS, how to make your theme and much more.
Theme books tend to be for designers who want to do everything themselves. But I think that most people want to make just a little different than what WordPress offers. Your own banner and such. This book teaches you how to do this. It will tell you exactly how to do. So you do not need to wonder “How to solve this….?”.
Don’t waste your time with SEO plug in. To use the Tag as a Meta Keywords, I called it “Smart!“. I must change my blog keyword section as she says.
Degree between 0 and 10, then this book is 9 points.
What draws a point?
The book is written for those who have full control on their server.
I cannot overwrite what host offers. My site here for example, php safemode is ON, because of that, jag cannot modify my upload folder – I can do it with disorganized manner. Everything is brought together in one and the same folder, which makes it harder to find a later.
She writes nothing about this, but who does.
Go to bookshop and buy it.
It is worth for money.
It was the funniest I have done with this book. It is actually animating.
Since I do not write about good things, I do not write what the book is called.
When I start reading books about Silverlight, there are pictures of Visual Studio, and it is very misleading.
It looks like I can use any of Blend or Visual Studio. But it’s just pictures and Visual Studio is usually unnecessary. What you need is Blend, it is not much to do with Visual Studio – with those books anyway. So these books are unusable for me.
In addition to the game, I read “Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition: Build a Program Now!“, and made this program (see above).
This book is for beginners, and I am a beginner on C#.
It is a good book. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to start C#. Not a lot of theories but lots of code. Quite fun to program. I have Visual Studio, but it was made for the Express edition to compile the example.
This is the final chapter “Weather Tracker”, and it can retrieve weather from MSN. It feels a bit buggy but it works!
I could not display the splash screen in the beginning. I read many times if I missed something, but did not. So I looked at included source code. And “Ha ha!”. It lacked something, of course.
splashScreen.Show();
Oh, yes! This is very important! You should set Main.cs design properties “ShowInTaskbar” – “False”.
Some “namespaces” also have to add yourself. In the last chapter you will suddenly pop up to higher ground – so I felt.
I did a little extra with that program.
If you have the book, and you want users to be able to use pop-up menu from the Main form, just change its properties “ContextMenuStrip” – “None” to “cmsNotify”.
Good luck!
