Each chapter contains step-by-step instructions for building the web project, aided by the extensive use of screenshots.

This book is for anybody who wants to build Joomla! sites, and see how to apply the many available Joomla! plugins and features in different scenarios. If you develop Joomla! sites professionally, or would like to try building web sites as a freelancer, this is a great book to help you get started.
