An awesome guide on the basics of AEM/CQ5 and how all of them are connected.
There are not many books on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) and Ryan has covered on AEM/CQ5 in the best possible way. Although AEM is now in Version 6.1 (the books was written in reference to CQ5), most of the topics are very relevant.
Don't be fooled by the title. This book will be very useful to anyone new to AEM - project managers, authors, publishers or techies. It's a good place to start if you're considering a purchase, or planning an implementation. It does NOT replace proper training, but it's a good starting point.
This book will be very helpful if you are trying to understand AEM from a non technical perspective but still wish to know all the features available and the best implementation of each one of them.
