First book from Ninja Forge and Daniel Chapman has been released – “Joomla 1.5 Customization: Make Your Site Adapt to Your Needs”. Daniel admits that the book came about from his frustration with fixing the same simple mistakes on web page after web page. Filling in a gap, this book is aimed at the intermediate Joomla developer.

> Pick the right extensions for your site
> Plan and implement advanced configurations for extensions
> Identify and use the right tools to speed up site development
> Modify module, plugin and component functionality to suit your needs
> Modify extension and template appearances to suit your needs
> Diagnose and fix common problems on Joomla! sites.

The book is selling for $30, $15 for the on-line version. And you get 15 percent off with the Joomla15-DC coupon code. That’s a lot cheaper than hiring Daniel to fix your site. He says he’d rather add fantastic new features to his extensions.
