I’m very excited to read and review two books from Packt Publishing.

Moodle 1.9 Theme Design: Beginner’s Guide

• Create your own Moodle theme from the graphic design stage right through to the finished complete Moodle theme
• Offers design examples and ways to create appropriate themes for different student age groups and styles
• Effective planning for creating and modifying new themes, customizing existing themes, and enhancing them further
• Clear focus on beginners with ample screenshots and clear explanations to facilitate learning

Moodle 1.9 Extension Development

• Develop your own blocks, activities, filters, and organize your content with secure code
• Thoroughly covers key libraries of Moodle and best practices to use them
• Explore the Moodle architectural concepts, how it is structured, and how it works
• Detailed examples and screenshots for easy learning

These two books are probably the most exciting to me to begin reading out of all the Packt Publishing books I’ve read. I’m currently into the 3rd chapter of the Theme Design book, which I will be reviewing on MoodleNews.com. It should be posted on Moodle News within a few weeks and the Extension book I will be reviewing on this blog.
