It is nice to hear that a book to help know CMS made simple better.
It'd be better there had been a link so that people could buy it from online stores like ebay, amazon and other :)

That is great to hear! Hopefully I dont have to keep on creating user guides for clients, and just direct them through this book!

Great news.
Not that i really need it but since you wrote "Packt sends us a percentage" i have just added the book on Amazon to my basket and will be ordering it in next days, i am just not the type of guy for PDF documents :-).

Thank you for announcing my book :) I have done my best along with the huge support from Packt Publishing team and my family.
@joe cannes Just to avoid misunderstanding. The major part of the book is intended for web masters and NOT for end users.

Well, I'm very proud to use and push CmsMS everytime it's an adequate choise.
So, as I am a trainer, I wrote a tutorial to install, manage and use CmsMS in french (as well as an introduction on how to install on Windows comp)
I have to ask my boss if I can make this work published and I would be proud to release it here.
It's not the quality level of a to be published book and it's not anymore a class support, my students usually say it's a good way to start with step-by-step procedures.
My pleasure.
Go on that way, I love you all.

To Sofia:
If you plan to translate it, my engliqh skills of translator being much deeper in the way english-french, I'd be pleased...
Kids and work leave me 1 or 2 hours free, so I can not assure you it will be done quick...

Brilliant stuff, just purchased book and PDF (seemed worth getting the PDF as its just a couple £ more as the bundle).
Great work, this is going to be very useful as im using CMSMS more and more.

Sofia,
As writter of the book 'Simply build your site with CMS Made Simple', I would like to congratulate you with the work done. It will help widen the knowledge of CMS Made Simple and make it possible for those persons who want to learn more of the system, to do that in one go instead of having to go criss cross over the forum, help text and wiki.
Hope for you that you sell as much as I do.

One book and PDF went overseas to Denmark and it is great. Thanks for the book Sofia. This helped made my final decision on settling on CMSMS for all my website to come.

To the Author... I very much look forward to getting a copy. Purchased the eBook from Packt 10 days ago, but they now tell me that they cannot deliver the eBook version "due to technical difficulties" with the book. Maybe you can find out whats happening here. Anyone else had the same problem?
On: Apr 14, 2010, Simon said:
Got the book recently. It has a few gems in it I knew nothing about - so it was definitely worth it.
May I suggest a splash ad on the CMSMS home page linking to the purchase page on Packt site.
It is a great way to introduce potential new users to CMSMS.

Great book Sofia! I've worked with CMSMS for more than 2 years but didn't know how to go beyond the basics. Now I feel confident to try expanding my repertoire of modules and to even tackle Calguy's ecommerce suite again. I've posted a review on my blog at polodesign,ca/blog as well as on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca.

Definately a must have book. I received a copy from Packt Publishing who asked me if I could write a review.
So I did after having read the book and learned a few new things. Thanks Sofia and CMS Made Simple for a great CMS.
My review can be found on my website: http://www.benshu.ch/en/blog/

I have built a lot of sites with CMSms and at one time there was a link here that I gave my clients. Where did it go? This was a great training tool.
so simple

if the cms is so simple why do people need a book to understand it
Why didn't I get before

Great book, it took a while to get here (Germany) but it was well worth the wait. Been using CMSMS for about 2 years but there's still so much useful good stuff I don't know, and it's all in the book. Very well written with code examples (downloadable from the Pakt support site). Excellent, every home should have a copy, would surely save some people on the forum a lot of headaches and precious time. Get the book! Support Sofia and her team! Support CMSMS! highly recommended. gruss - spike
