Ektron founder and CEO, Bill Rogers, Bill Cava, Chief Evangelist at
Ektron and Aniel Sud, Ektron CMS Architect have combined their joint
experience and expertise to provide developers with everything they need to

management platform.

The "Ektron Developer's Guide" walks developers through the process of
setting up, configuring, developing, testing and deploying a site using
established best practices and helpful tips. Each chapter focuses on the
implementation of a specific aspect of the site and offers an overview of the
technology. Step-by-step instructions walk developers through the process of
putting specific functionality into practice. By book's end, .NET developers
will have acquired a solid understanding of the internal workings of the
Ektron Framework as well as having built a comprehensive example website.

"Our goal was that upon completing 'Building an Ektron-Powered Website,'
.NET developers will have a complete and functional coded site that can be
used as a template for their future projects," said Bill Cava
(www.ektron.com/Resources/Blog-Hub), Chief Evangelist at Ektron.
