It is a practical guide with lots of sample code included from real Liferay Portal Projects free for use.
“Liferay User Interface Development is a pioneer in explaining Liferay's powerful theming system by taking users through examples to get to create new themes as quickly as possible. Its explicit instructions are accompanied by plenty of source code. With the Open Source nature of Liferay, the user will find a user-friendly environment to design themes with the latest user interface technologies,” Dr. Jonas Yuan, Sr. Technical Analyst at CIGNEX, who is the co author of this book and also has authored 3 other books on Liferay.
Xinsheng Chen, an architect at CIGNEX and the co-author of this book says, “Whether the user is a web portal engineer or an experienced Liferay Portal developer, he can benefit from this book. Prior knowledge of Liferay Theming is not expected. The detailed text accompanied with source code allows experimenting and customizing the source code.”
This book is a practical guide to customizing the look and feel of Liferay-based portal applications.
