Very helpful for those of us just learning how to do a website. Great for someone over 50

This book does an ok job of explaining how this system works, but I was a bit disappointed that it concentrated on technical areas I had no interest in. I love the software and was hoping to learn new ways of using existing features.

Our small company decided to use DNN to improve their static HTML based site. This book really helped all of us - sales people, account managers, as well as the data services people - how to get it started, get a feel of how to work with modules, install, customize, create/add roles, skin explanation, etc.
So far the results have been excellent - we've created a workable site where our clients can easily get reports and the data we need - and it is easy to work with.
This book was a great help in getting the basics down and point to other resources for more questions or advanced topics.

This is a good start. It gives you a good basic overview, and it's easier than hitting the forums or printing out all the white papers. I've kind of avoided the 'For Dummies' titles in the past, but I've had good luck with them recently. And this is definitely a title I've had good luck with. It's already kind of outdated, but that's the nature of technology.
This book does provide a very solid introduction, and it really does give you everything you need to start a basic site.
I don't agree with the reviewer who said this book is oriented toward programmers. It's not at all! If you have even a cursory understanding of how the web works, you'll have a site up and running in no time.
Having used DNN for a few months now, however, I'm seeking something that has more meat. Unfortunately, DNN is free, and you get what you pay for. It's good and getting better, but it's not as slick or bug free as I'd like. So... Once you get your site up and running, you'll probably wish you were a programmer so you'd know how to fix all the dumb quirks you'll discover.
See you in the DNN Forum!

This is one really great book for anyone getting started with DotNetNuke. All of the most important information is covered very clearly and concisely.
