eZ Publish provides developers with a structure to build highly impressive applications and
then quickly deploy them into a live environment. eZ Publish is complex, with a steep learning
curve, but with the right direction it offers great flexibility and power. What makes eZ Publish
special is not the long list of features, but what's going on behind the scenes.
Created specifically for newcomers to eZ Publish, and using an example Magazine web site, this
book focuses on designing, building and deploying eZ Publish to create an enterprise site quickly
and easily.
This tutorial takes eZ Publish's steep learning curve head-on, and walks you through the process
of designing and building content-rich web sites. It makes the unrivalled power and flexibility
of eZ Publish accessible to all developers.
The book is organized around technical topics, which are handled in depth, with a general
progression that follows the learning experience of the reader, and features a single magazine
web site project from installation to completion and deployment. This hands-on guide helps the
reader to understand the Content Management System to create a web 2.0-ready web site by creating
new extensions or overriding the existing ones. In turn, it helps you to become confident when
working in the eZ Publish administration area and offers an environment in which you can practice
while working through the chapters.
