Product Description
From Amazon
Web Content Management addresses the difficult area of how to maintain and manage large, rapidly changing Web sites. This title is aimed at three categories of Web practitioners: managers who deal with the business process, architects who make design and technology choices, and developers including graphic artists and Java programmers. The author introduces the concepts of content management, sets out best practices for collaborative Web development, and offers numerous illustrations and examples.
The opening chapters set the scene, reviewing the typical problems of Web site management and explaining the content management architecture, which breaks down the process into four parts: content creation and editing, repository and versioning, workflow, and deployment. Next comes a look at collaboration, and the different characteristics of small, medium size and large teams. Another chapter shows how to control content with a process built on work areas, a staging area, and published Web site editions. The book goes on to look at page templates, which are a key resource, and how to design workflows for reviewing and approving content. There is also a detailed look at the deployment process. The closing chapters show how content management meets the challenge of globalisation, and look at some future trends such as increased syndication.
Russell Nakano is himself a consultant and designer of content management solutions. His book benefits from clear explanations and good use of flow charts and diagrams, and is not tied to any particular product. It is an excellent introduction for Web professionals. --Tim Anderson

Shill for Interwoven,
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Content Management: A Collaborative Approach (Paperback)
If you believe that Interwoven's software is the way to go, then read this book. Otherwise, save your money and look elsewhere.

Even at [a low cost ], Not Worth It,
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Content Management: A Collaborative Approach (Paperback)
This book can commonly be found used for [a low cost ]. I think that says a lot.Coming from an editorial and project management background, I found this book to be worthless. It's terribly written, the topics are covered in a very general way, and it ignores important topics such as information modeling. A much better book on the subject is "Managing Enterprise Content: A Unified Content Strategy" by Ann Rockley. However, Rockley's book goes beyond Web content management to include all forms of enterprise content (print, etc.). I plan to read Boiko's "Content Management Bible" next, which I hope will answer some of the questions I still have.

More depth please Mr Nakano,
By Nick Porter (Stockholm, Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Web Content Management: A Collaborative Approach (Paperback)
As a System Architect working with Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and particularly with Interwoven's Teamsite, I was eagerly awaiting the publication of a book that dealt with Content Management.However, on recieveing the book I was disapointed to release once again that the subject had been treated at such a high level as to be nearly useless to someone who already works within the field. I agree with other reviewers of the book that it does present a reasonable overview for those first dangling their feet in the CMS swamp. However, there is currently a great need for a book on ECM where the underlying principles and process of specifying, creating and validating a "Content Architecture" and Management System are seriously considered. Unfortunately this book is not it. If I had the time or money I would write one myself. Until then I keep my fingers crossed that Nakano is already working on one
