Having been much of a J! 1.x.x developer until recently,I found myself in a litle bit of what i would like to call sticky situation.Although i have developed a few Joomla! modules,my GSoC by far has to be the single most significant and biggest.And there ain't no way ,that i'm gonna screw this up.So i thought i should start preparing myself ,get ready to start coding.After asking quite a few insiders (mentors that is )I think I found the perfect guide to start my 1.5 development initiation. Mastering Joomla ! 1.5 by James Kennard is the ideal book to start J! development.I was pretty sure that this was what I needed, and desperately and soon !! Just about when I was going to order a copy of the book,Wilco made an announcement that all Joomla! GSoC -2008 students would get a free copy of the book,thanks to Packt Publishing.Phew! a few hours late,I would have ended up wit two copies.Yes ,all GSoCers get a book from Google,but here at Joomla! we get two. One from Google and the other from J!.Yup we're lucky.

I would really like to thank Wilco for making this happen.I'm very sure that all of us are going to enjoy the book.

And I just got my book yesterday !!(I still haven't got the Google Surprise book!), I was the first one get the book.Maybe because,Packt Publishing have a major facility here in India at Mumbai.

Anyways Cheers Guys !!

I've attached a photo of the book here.

Mastering Joomla! 1.5

This book is totally,what all J! developers need.And that is why we're getting them.

Nice blog, Nakul! Thanks PackT for sharing these with our GSoC-ers! Mastering Joomla! 1.5 by James Kennard is *indeed* an excellent book - I've been amazed by the detail. Wilco and Ian are taking very good care of you guys. I appreciate their support and involvement, too.

Hi Nakul,

Ian suggested this idea, and Packt just made it happen. I contacted Packt with the question, and they instantaniously said yes, and after I provided the adresses they just sended it out. It's really awesome they offer this support to the Joomla! project and the SoC students particulary. You where ahead of me blogging about this, because a real thank you is really in place here...

Packt, thanks for helping us out here!

Enjoy the great read! It's among many within my personal library. Wilco and Packt Publishing ROCK for donating a J! coders must have.

I know that I am speaking for more than just myself when I say many of us within the community are looking forward to your Advanced Media Manager and well every project being worked on this summer. Good luck to you this summer and happy reading!
