I bought this book to research how to implement a new site on Mambo CMS. It basically was a copy of basic explanations that are on the mambo site, and only addressed the structure that is in place with default values on the test page.

Bad points : ------------ - No real structure - Hardly any advice on why to use this or that function - Most options not even explored (has the author ??) - What is the use of including code with no explanation on how to use it and/or what it is for ?

I have not used a CMS before, other than WordPress (that I consider to be a light-weight and focused CMS) so I decided to give Mambo a whirl but not without the help of this book. Unlike some other reviewers, the subtitle of my copy reads "A step by step tutorial" and so I read the book with that in mind.
