Book: BuddyPress For Dummies
March 23, 2010 in Community, News
Last month saw the release of the very first BuddyPress book – “BuddyPress For Dummies“. The book was written by Lisa Sabin-Wilson who is a very active contributor within the BuddyPress community. She worked tirelessly to keep up with the rapid pace of development and the book is all the better for it. It’s a fantastic introduction to the world of BuddyPress, what you can do with it, and how you can customize it to suit your needs.
If you’re interested in discovering exactly what the book has to offer, you can download a sample chapter (pdf link), or take a look inside via Amazon.com.
BuddyPress For Dummies is currently on promotion at Barnes & Noble through April 30, or you can always grab a copy at Amazon.com.

I am very grateful for this BuddyPress For Dummies book, it might not be on the shop shelves here down under as yet but I am all right with Amazon. Thank you Lisa and and BuddyPress. Just what I am looking for, it’s much easier to read a practical book on what I am into from my bed at evening time.
