The Elements Of Content Strategy (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
This book is not for people working in this field for more than a year or so. For them, there's really nothing new to learn. This book is mostly for those thinking that they need to publish content. If you want to learn what it is required to publish meaningful content on the web, in terms of people involved, resources, etc, then this is an OK read.Also, there's almost nothing included on HOW to create a good content strategy, no real life examples, etc. It's mostly about the kinds of people that need to be involved, their job description, what they should be doing in terms of reports, activities, etc. There's very little included about how to do a good job in creating a strategy and really good content.The style in which the book is written is terribly boring. Luckily it is not a long book. The Kindle version has some technical issues. For example, there are some tables in the book and they don't fit on the display of the Kindle. Having read the two previous books from the collection, HTML5 For Web Designers and CSS3 for Web Designers, I was expecting something quite as awesome as those two. Well, I was wrong.I understood nothing and I can't even remember anything that I've read. It's too dry and tiresome considering its size. Maybe it's because it's not meant for people who are new to the subject of content strategy.Nevertheless, the rest of the collection should be fine. Responsive Design here I come!

A brief, helpful overview. I'm sure I'll keep coming back to it, especially for the bibliography.

This book actually lacks content and fails to live up to its title.

Use it as a reference. Don't try to read straight through.
