I can agree with most of your review... I gave the book 4 stars in my Amazon review - there is no possibility for 4.5. :-) My main complain is that some part of the book contains code which just says 'how', while I'd be happier to get more info about 'why' and that's my main complain about C5 official docs as well which made me considering to learn writing WP plugin. Probably I'll stay with C5 (it's much better than WP), but without learning to write some stuff for myself, I may be switching to web2py. Sincerely, Gour Excuse me for jumping late in the bandwagon.

I can agree the title is somewhat misleading - I can see by the title that it seems it could be for a complete novice and end user / editor of concrete5, not a developer. I kind of touched on that in my review under 'The Bad' section. I also think that the part at the beginning of the book about 'Who this book is written for" should be more prominent - maybe on the front or back cover of the book. As far as converting an HTML template into a concrete5 theme, there's a great tutorial here if you haven't see it already: http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/designers/make-a-theme/ Marshall, thanks for the post and point of view.

This is NOT a beginner's guide but rather a guide for someone who is very familiar and uses php and css. Also the questons@packtpub.com is useless. I have sent it two questions and all I get is the canned "We are forwarding your question to a design team for an answer..." and weeks later there is no answer. I am trying to convert an HTML theme into a concrete5 theme, but when I follow the instructions in Chapter 5 of the book, it does not work. I wish someone would write some instructions for concrete5 that do not assume that the reader is a php expert. The title of the book is a complete misnomer.
