Martin Bailey, author of Marketing your Business has announced the release of a book focussing specifically on the Joomla! CMS.

The book, published through Management Books 2000 Ltd is aimed and individuals and companies that are new to CMS and need help and advice understanding the benefits of a CMS (over a static HTML site, perhaps currently designed in-house) and how to implement such a system.

It discusses the process of evaluating the best CMS for your needs and then takes you through installing and customising it to suit your needs. The often-missed subject of backing up your site is also covered in-depth. For those looking to migrate an existing static HTML site there are two chapters dedicated to installing existing available templates or designing your own. 

Priced at GBP £10.99 it will be available from mid-August 2006.
