If you are following any Liferay related sites, forums, tweets, ..., then for sure you've heard about the new book titled "Liferay Beginner's Guide". The book was released in December 2011 and it is getting a lot more attention that I would ever expect. To be honest I'm kind of surprised there are so many Liferay beginners out there. So I volunteered to review the book hoping to check for myself whether all this buzz is only the result of good marketing strategy or it really provides the beginners with the answers they need.
While I don't consider myself a Liferay expert, during the last few years, besides developing Liferay extensions, I had a chance to help a few people start using Liferay in both my company and Liferay forums. I'm curious whether this book would have been any helpful in those cases if it existed back then.
The good news is, a couple of days ago I received my e-book copy and started reading. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll be able to post a review which eventually will help you decide whether it's worth buying. Meanwhile you can check the free chapter to get an idea of how the book is written, organized and styled.
And of course, if you are one of those how have already read the book, do not hesitate to comment and point out things you found good, bad, odd or in any other way worth mentioning.
