Book Description

Publication Date: Sep 27 2011

Summary

Liferay in Action is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to building portals on the Liferay 6 platform. Fully supported and authorized by Liferay, this book guides you smoothly from your first exposure to Liferay through the crucial day-to-day tasks of building and maintaining an enterprise portal that works well within your existing IT infrastructure.

About the Technology

A portal is a website built around a collection of components that request, display, and share information. Liferay Portal 6, an enterprise-ready development platform, makes it a snap to build portals that integrate with your existing backend systems and provide a rich interactive user experience. Because Liferay uses standard Java and JavaScript, along with built-in SOAP and JSON support for web services, developers can be productive immediately. And since it's available in both a free, open source version as well as a fully-supported commercial edition, it's an affordable solution for almost any business or organization

About the Book

Liferay in Action is the official guide to building Liferay portal applications using Java and JavaScript. If you've never used Liferay before, don't worry. This book starts with the basics: setting up your development environment and creating a working portal. Then, it builds on that foundation to help you discover social features, tagging, ratings, and more. You'll also explore the Portlet 2.0 API, and learn to create custom themes and reusable templates.

Experienced developers will learn how to use new Liferay APIs to build social and collaborative sites, use the message bus and workflow, implement indexing and search, and more. This book was developed in close collaboration with Liferay engineers, so it answers the right questions, and answers them in depth.

No experience with Liferay or the Portlets API is required, but basic knowledge of Java and web technology is assumed.

Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you use Liferay, you need this book. Dec 13 2011
By Jim Denmark - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
My company has been using Liferay since early 2008 and if we could have had this book when we started, our whole learning experience would have been much accelerated. Like most open source projects, the official documentation is lacking in completeness and consistency. Beyond the community, the only real go-to was Rich Sezov's other book - the Liferay Administration guide. There are some other quite comprehensive works available under the Liferay title but I have found them to be poorly organized, hard to follow and focused on a quite narrow use case.

The Liferay in Action book walks you through the concepts and then through some practical exercises of developing portlets for the Liferay platform. This work coupled with the other recently published Portlets in Action has proven invaluable to get us leveraging the Liferay platform more effectively. Now I hope the author goes on to maintain updated editions of this work, keeping up with the annual Liferay release cycle and writes a companion guide for the ALLOY-UI javascript framework that is included with Liferay. He touches on it in this book but a more comprehensive work is needed.

To be transparent, I was a technical reviewer on this book and have been waiting eagerly for its publishing but because it is filling a void that if you are using Liferay, you will agree, needed to be filled.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Starter on Liferay Portal Jan 9 2013
By Sean J. Gildea - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I just started a new job and we've been launching Liferay Portal as our platform for development. This book has been an excellent reference in getting me setup and going on deploying, installing then building applications with Liferay Portal.

I've only read a couple chapters ( 1, 2 and 5 ) but I really enjoy the authors style of writing. You can tell he is intimately aware and knowledgeable about the inner workings of Liferay. He doesn't digress on topics and he assumes you're a Software Engineer and you know the basics at least. As a Mid Level Java Developer, this style suits me perfectly. I can say, already I've become very comfortable with Portlets in Liferay and Themes. I have my environment setup and deploying with Ant. It builds with Tomcat, ect.

This book was recommended by someone at work and I feel it deserves some recognition. It's helped me make an impact in my new job and I really feel like liferay is one of the best portals out today.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great way to get grounded in Liferay Jan 2 2012
By Pete Helgren - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book can get you quickly up to speed on Liferay. Starting with the basics it then takes you into the code as deep as you want to go. I wish I had access to the details in this book as I was getting introduced to Liferay because it would have shortened the learning curve and improved my efficiency (which is exactly what you want a book to do!)

I had reviewed an early draft of this book and, upon publication, it lived up to all my expectations.
