The launch of the CD-ROM: “How to Create AJAX Web Applications (using jQuery)” was a hit and I want to thank everyone that ordered. You got a nice $10 price break, and shipping paid for by me.

This book is a fast paced tutorial to creating a website using Mambo. If you’ve never used Mambo, or even any web content management system before, then this book will walk you through each step in a friendly and accessible way. From installation, to initial set up and content entry and then on to customization for your own look and feel, this book will get you to a stable and working Mambo based web site fast. You don’t have to be an experienced web developer or designer to get a great looking site with a full set of functions using this book and Mambo. This book will guide you through every step.

The book begins by introducing Mambo and concepts behind content management. Then the installation of Mambo, and its supporting software [Apache/MySQL/PHP] is covered clearly and simply. Once you have the installation up and running, we then take a tour of Mambo as it appears out of the box, to familiarize ourselves with how it works and what is what. As you take the tour, your own ideas for what you need in your new website begin to crystallise around what you can see Mambo is capable of.

We then build our web application, using the features of Mambo that are essential to our purpose. We try not to spend time on things that don’t matter at this point. Once we have a base version of our site up, we then learn how to change its appearance and feature set to suit our particular requirements, including bringing it into line with an established corporate identity. At the end of the book we show how, if you have the skills and the need, you can add your own extensions to Mambo.

Have you ever looked at a Web site and wondered, "How did they do that?" It seems everyone has a Web site these days. Families use them to swap information and share photos; churches and clubs use them to keep their members informed. And if you have a business or are in charge of communication for an organization, a Web site is a must.

Web Sites Do-It-Yourself For Dummies shows you how easy it can be to create a professional-looking Web site for your business, club, or family. The illustrated, step-by-step instructions, along with the templates you can download from the book’s companion Web site, will help you create an effective Web presence fast, whether you're creating a site for the first time or redesigning an old one.
