I promised last month that I'd post a proper review of Philipp Krenn's SilverStripe 2.4 Module Extension, Themes, and Widgets. Here it is. Both of you who were waiting on this to buy the book can now go ahead. ;-)
I hate to be the guy who points out problems, but it's time to address the elephant in the room: UnSummit has a major flaw, and it's only getting worse.
Nettercap's content management system of choice is an open-source one called SilverStripe. Its light resource footprint, model-view-controller organization, and relative ease of use for content owners make it an ideal choice for us and for many of our clients. I'd encourage anyone who installs or maintains CMSes to have a look at it; in my experience it gives enterprise-level products a run for their money.
In the course of one day - yesterday - I've been both impressed and excited about the potential of an online payment tool and considerably frustrated and disappointed with another.
