Product Description
The Definitive Guide to Interwoven TeamSite is the first comprehensive book about this enterprise-level content management system. Divided into five parts, it guides you through the Interwoven TeamSite architecture, key features, and detailed implementation. The book presents material using the Rational Unified Process as a development framework and project methodology. Each part of the book introduces the concepts and TeamSite features that you will need to understand in order to carry out each aspect of the project.
Complete with a working implementation and numerous visual guides, the book painstakingly covers the project process. The authors also include a crucial case-study of a fictitious financial services firm. Throughout the book, the authors share key development strategies, deployment principles, best practices, and insider tips that they have gained over many years of working in enterprise CMS environments at many different Fortune 500 implementations. The foreword for this book is written by Russell Nakano, who was a principal consultant and co-founder of Interwoven, author of
Web Content Management: A Collaborative Approach, and who is the current president and co-founder of Nahava, Inc. The authors also discuss future product releases, including LiveSite, MetaTagger, and SaleSite. They share the future product vision of Interwoven and TeamSite in the epilogue.

Reader ReviewsYou have to understand first that I "grew up" in content management systems with "Joomla!," which is an open-source, fully-integrated application that gives you one pilot seat from which to build your web site. (www.joomla.org) With Joomla!, you create your information architecture, add in components, and pick out a template, and you have a fully-functioning web site in no time. You don't have the versioning and audit trails of other cms tools, but you have a whiz-bang web site that's easy to manage and incredibly extensible. Now faced with implementing TeamSite, I just can't believe that anyone would choose this behemoth over Joomla!. Nevertheless, the question that NO ONE can answer for me, not Interwoven and certainly not the "definitive guide," is "How do you actually build a web site with it?" It seems that Interwoven and this book assume that you have teams of programmers who have always built all their sites one file at a time. They start from scratch and script their little hearts out. This book may explain the installation and general templating procedures of TeamSite, but it doesn't explain the general approach to building a web site with it. There are many, many gaps, and it's not very helpful for non-programmers or first-time CMS builders. So, if you're buying this book as a pre-purchase decision, I'd suggest looking at Joomla!--chances are, you'll be happier with it, and it's free.
