Product Description
In today's fast-paced, information-packed world, it's critical for businesses to organize and manipulate the data gathered from customers, sales, and product responses, etc. into usable information. Content Management Systems (CMS) can do this for your business easily and efficiently. There are several commercial systems available, but customizing one for your specific needs is usually necessary based on your data. Creating Content Management Systems in Java teaches you how to develop an open source CMS from scratch using XML as the storage mechanism, XSLT as the presentation layer, and Java and JSPs & Servlets to realize the multi-tiered architecture. The book also covers data modeling in XML and the use of XSLT as a presentation vehicle for custom XML formats. Creating Content Management Systems in Java is written for Web and software developers (specifically Java developers) who wish to learn more about the field of content management. The book provides a practical, applied perspective with complete demonstrations using code to show you how a solution or feature can be implemented. Throughout the book you will work through the development of a complete, open source, working CMS example, beginning with the conceptual ideas of content management. From there you'll dive into the exploration of practical design solutions, and then move into the final implementations in each tier of the software that becomes the CMS. To benefit the most from this book, you should already know the Java programming language and have a basic understanding of the Web. You do not need to know XML, XSLT, CSS, or XHTML because these topics are covered thoroughly, although a basic understanding will be helpful. So, if you need to learn more about CMS development, this is the book for you.

 Programmers will find plenty of solid application examples here. November 5, 2006

Arron Ferguson's CREATING CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IN JAVA offers a fast yet detailed introduction to CMS, which offers an open source for customizing a data system. Web developers and software developers - Java in particular - will find this an excellent book which moves beyond the basics into the more advanced Web programmer's world, though an understanding of XML or CSS isn't necessary to use it. Topics are geared to real-world situations and needs and thus programmers will find plenty of solid application examples here.

When the web began it was intended as a medium where scientific papers could be shared among research institutions around the world. The web was designed to be easy to use, easy to put up a document (all you had to know was a simple scripting language called HTML), and easy to view it (all you needed was a browser). The number of web sites was low (a hundred or so) and the number of visitors was also low. Getting information up to the web was not difficult if all you are putting up are scientific papers.
Needless to say, the times have changed. Now the need to put information up on the web has grown exponentially. And the need for non-programmers; secretaries and (shudder) managers to be able to put information on the site has caused the creation of Content Management Systems to make it even easier.
This book is on the creation of CMS systems using Java to take advantage of the power in the PC accessing the web site by using Java applets running in the PC to do some of the work. It presumes that the reader is familiar with the Java language but not with web technologies. As such, I would rate it intermediate level. The CD with the disk includes a collection of open source software, various documents, Java source code examples and more.
With so many open source CMS systems out there, this book might be more useful as a way to understand the differences between them and perhaps changes you might want to make in them to suit your own needs.

I usually try to find books that are focused on some specific topic, but in this book there was not much of about Content Management Systems. Most of chapters contained info about other topics: licensing, XML, XSLT, CSS. They where connected to building CMS, but I have very good knowledge in these topics, so there wasn't much to gain from this book for me, I should have chosen some other book.
But don't get me wrong, there is probably nothing wrong with this book. It is about creating content management system in Java, as is the name of the book. I spent half a day with this book and didn't find anything generally wrong with it, text was clearly written, there isn't much that is unexplained for novice user, an example CMS is on the accompanied CD, etc.
So the main point is:
*If You looking for advanced information about (Enterprise) CMS, then this book is not for You
*If You look to get some information on how to build a CMS system and learning related technologies, then this would be a good option.
About my rating (3 stars): if I would have put rating according to how much this book was useful to me or how much I enjoyed it, my rating would have been 1 or 2. But I feel this would have been too harsh, because I didn't find anything wrong with the book. I must pay more attention to the books I choose to buy in the future, more pre-work before sending an order. So I think 3 is fair rating.
