I have spent the last several days reviewing WordPress Top Plugins by Brandon Corbin and all I can say is WOW – why didn’t I know this was available!

This valuable book provides an overview of some of the best WP plugins you could ever use including WP-DBManager, BuddyPress, WPTouch, NextGen Gallery, and more.  Brandon methodically lays out a road map on understanding how to install plugins, how they work, and managing them.

Plus I really like how he breaks down each plugin review by:

• Why It’s Awesome
• Why It Was Picked
• Manual and Automatic Install Directions
• Geek Level – Perfect for me!
• Configuration Location
• Used In (what it’s used for)

While I know the saying “There’s a Plugin for that!” is so true, WordPress Top Plugins opened my eyes to some excellent tools I never knew about and provided me with a better understanding of plugins without having to search all over the web.

I recommend this book for designers and developers alike as a handy resource for their client projects or personal work.

You can find the book at Packt’s website.
