Content Management Bible

by Bob Boiko

As the Information Age dawns, the information at our disposal expands haphazardly. The Content Management Bible answers these key questions about the system readers might employ to control the expansion of information and organize targeting and
* What does a system that handles massive amounts of information look like, and how can a single system produce a wide range of well-targeted custom publications from the same information base?
* How can a system be created that understands each piece of information and how do I transform content to fit the various distribution methods such as web, print, handhelds and others?
* What are the steps and processes you need to create such a system, and how can this system serve an organization's overall business goals and future initiatives?

I never thought I would write this kind of a review: This book is too wordy! There is no reason why both theory and practice of content management can't be described in under 966 pages. Reading Boiko's book feels like using bloated software - you simply try to skim the headlines and pick out a worthy sentence or two per page.

[Raoul Boers · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although Boiko's writing style can be a bit overbearing, all-in-all this is the book of choice to comprehensively learn the ins and outs of content management from a top-level perspective. It is very complete and adds a ground-layer and blueprint to anyone trying to get into content management on any level, in any organization.

On first glance, you will be overwhelmed though. Hang in there, it will accompany in all your CM projects!

[Tommy Powell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Comprehensive and well laid out for reference. A bit thin on strategies for coping with either existing/legacy CMS systems or resistant cultures among coworkers.

Very good section on developing requirements (for the beginner).

The title is accurate: the book is exhaustive, explicit, and long.
