    This book adds absolutely nothing that you can’t learn by devoting two or three hours to reading the online documentation. The simple stuff (which is all this book covers) is fairly intuitive and you don’t need to this book to learn that, while the complicated stuff (structured content) and for which OpenCMS is best applied, doesn’t even rate an index entry, much the large chapter it requires. Total waste of time and money. I only gave this book one star because Amazon won’t let me give it what it deserves – zero.
