Dorothy Firsching will present Joomla! tips she has extracted from Jen Kramer's book, Joomla! Start to Finish:  How to Plan, Execute, and Maintain Your Website, Wrox, 2010.

“If you’re trying to make money building Joomla web sites, this book is for you. If you’re just trying to build better Joomla web sites, for profit or not for profit, this book is for you, too.”

Jen Kramer is Program Director for the M.S. in Internet Technologies program at the Marlboro College Graduate School, as well as a frequent speaker at Joomla! conferences. She is President of 4Web, Inc., a company dedicated to building highly customized Joomla! web sites.

Although her book was written for Joomla! 1.5, it is much more than a point-and-click how to do Joomla! type of book. She provides what Dorothy views as timeless tips in how to work with clients and leverage Joomla! to make those customers (and you) more successful. As much as we would love a Joomla 2.5 version of the book, it is still a worthwhile read as it is today. (We might have her on the phone at this meeting, but we will definitely have her speak at a future meeting.)
