User Review:
This book advertises that it is first and foremost about DotNetNuke 4.0, and it is the first book out on 4.0. That should have told me something. The book focuses on teaching you how to use and install, Dot Net 2.0, Visual Web Developer Express, and it has a chapter teaching you how to use C#. The first two should already be understood by a person trying to setup and use DotNetNuke.
C# is introduced and described, as I said earlier, in one chapter. However you can't teach C# in one chapter. What results is a mishmash of advanced and beginning topics with nothing covered in depth.
With so much devoted to C#, VWD, Dot Net 2.0, DotNetNuke gets short shift and no 4.0 topic is covered in enough depth. Simply put he doesn't do enough with DotNet Nuke and too much with peripheral topics.
The big issues, Module Development, Skinning and site administration are just not adequately covered.
Wait for other books on DotNetNuke. Hopefully they'll do a better job as most are written by members of the development team.
