"Es gibt nur wenige Fachbücher, die zum einen ausgezeichnet geschrieben und dann auch noch inhaltlich überzeugend sind. Dieses Buch gehört definitiv dazu. Der Autor kommt sehr schnell auf den Punkt, so dass man sich keine langen theoretischen Ausführungen anhören muss. Das Buch ist sehr schön strukturiert. Der einleitende Teil weckt das Interesse des Lesers und der vertiefende Teil nennt dann auch die Details die benötigt werden. Fazit: Ein sehr gutes Buch mit hoher Praxisrelevanz!" -- php-nuke.de, Mai 2010
