Copy-paste from Wikipedia…NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OR MONEY,
The opening chapter is a verbatim copy of the main Wikipedia page on “web content management systems”. Verbatim as in identical, down to the same formatting.
The rest of the book follows suit, including the tables that list different management systems. All direct from Wikipedia.
The book itself says as much on its very first page:
“Topic relevant selected content from the highest rated entries, typeset, printed and shipped.
Combine the advantages of up-to-date and in-depth knowledge with the convenience of printed books.
…
The content within this book was generated collaboratively by volunteers. Please be advised that nothing found here has necessarily been reviewed by people with the expertise required to provide you with complete, accurate, or reliable information. Some information in this book may be misleading or simply wrong. The publisher does not guarantee the validity of information found here.”
There you have it, straight from the horse’s mouth so-to-speak.
Now I see value in the idea of taking up-to-date information (Wikipedia), slapping it into a typesetting program and printing it out for people. Some like the tactile feel of flipping the pages–I get that.
My beef with this book is that the disclaimer I have copied for you does not appear anywhere in their description on Amazon. I think this is tremendously misleading. If I knew upfront that the book is just a Wikipedia re-print I would have never purchased it.
For example, here is a snippet of the book description on Amazon:
“This book explains in-depth the real drivers and workings of Web Content Management Systems (WCMS). It reduces the risk of your technology, time and resources investment decisions by enabling you to compare your understanding of Web Content Management Systems (WCMS) with the objectivity of experienced professionals.”
Experienced professionals?? Where??!
“Some information in this book may be misleading or simply wrong. The publisher does not guarantee the validity of information found here.”
How do I reconcile these two quotes? If I can’t trust the content in the book, how does it reduce my risk? Quite the opposite.
If you like your Wikipedia in print format, you might consider buying this book. Otherwise, continue your search. These are not the droids you’re looking for.
