[Kenyon]

I need Ebook for learning Joomla. I am willing to make a site in joomla for my college project. I have heard that Joomla is good for making shopping site, so I have planned to make a demo shopping site. There are so many ebooks all over the web by many writers and publishers. I don’t know which one to pick up. So is there anyone who can suggest me some good ebooks that I can refer to?

Since you are planning to create shopping site in joomla, I will suggest you to get the below ebooks:

They are paid version on Packt Publishing site but with a little bit of searching you can download them for free. There are many sites having free download for the mentioned ebooks.

You can surely refer to the ebooks mentioned here for understanding joomla. One of my friends had made a shopping site using joomla some months ago with shopping cart extensions called “virtuemart”. It will be easy for you to create a shopping site using virtuemart, there are some more shopping cart extensions and they are as followed but virtuemart is simply the best.
J2store
Joomshopping
Hikashop
Redshop
Apart from this +1 for "Joomla 2.5 Made Easy", it really the best book for beginners.
