This book helped me to modify the couple of skins I had, and "whetted my appetite" to dig deeper. Good info for "newbs", and a helpful resource if your an experienced web-designer wanting to gain a grasp of the "Skinning Engine" in DotNetNuke.
Stick with it,
September 02, 2008 The first few chapters are painfully dry and appear to take you on a tour of DotNetNuke that you probably didn't want to take. Stick with it, you will find that the later parts of the book get practical and worth your time. The practical chapters are helpful, and will get you making your own skins very quickly.  Enough content for a full book...?,

Perhaps it would be nice to see more information about skin objects and container objects, with more information on how they look and how they can be configured. Or even discuss the appearence and skinning possibilities of some of the core modules.
The book seems to be targetting half way between developers and designers, and in that attempt may not result as useful as it could, to neither of them (too light for a developer, too technical for a designer). It does say "Programmer to programmer" in the subtitle, so the reader should consider himself warned about it. In any case, it would be nice to see a book like this, but aimed from a designer's perspective.Excellent How-To,
January 07, 2008 Let's face it - you don't use DNN for its good looks. The book was a great way for me to learn all of the customization options for DNN so I could build a great looking site.
The book has very believable practical examples and was glad to see a section about Silverlight.
If you are new to DNN, buy it.
