I have never before used Xoops nor anything similar and found this book to be a good quick introduction. The organization of this book probably would not be easy to search for answers to future questions but it can get you started quickly. After reading the book and trying to build a web site I abandoned Xoops. I worried the current dependence of Xoops on tables for layout would lead to re-doing a lot of work when the system changes to use CSS for layout.

Perhaps I do not understand how to use Xoops but it also appeared that I would have to put significant time into making modifications to accomplish my goals. The book gave me enough background that I felt I would be able to make the modification to do anything I wanted, but I felt the same amount of time would be better spent on Ruby on Rails.

I was looking for a place to start and saw this book. It was easy to follow and was full of useful information. If you already have a Xoops site up and running, this book is not for you. This is a rank beginner's guide to setting up your first website. I'd figured out how to install and configure Xoops a few months earlier, and got almost nothing out of this book. It's also way too short I read it in a day and a lot of space is taken up by large, unnecessary screenshots. Building Websites with Xoops is rather overpriced for what you get.

The author doesn't go into enough detail when going through the popular modules.

Product details

He just explains the self-explanitory functions in the Admin section, without exploring any deeper or giving advice on how you can REALLY customise Xoops. There's also no info on how to create your own module, which is a pity. The 'Creating your own Themes' chapter is the best one, and happens to be the sample chapter you can download for free.
