Smarty book published & available

Hi,

I just wanted to follow-up from a message I sent last month
about the 
Smarty book. It was finally published this week after a few
unexpected 
delays, and it is also available as an eBook.

For more information:

   http://www.packtp
ub.com/smarty/book

There's free shipping available directly from Packt
Publishing to the US, 
UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Go Smarty!

first off - congrats!  no doubt it will help to give Smarty
(a more|an even more) professional 'presence' 

secondly could you indicate how much detail the book
contains on Smarty
caching? I ask because I have some very dynamic sites (with
custom
plugins that retrieve their own data, multilanguage and
heavy 'scriptside'
logic) that could do with [partial] caching but so far I
have been unable
to figure out how to implement it without causing the
output/dynamic-data
requirements of said sites to be broken - a book that
detailed extreme/complex
smarty caching implementation might be just what I need.

rgds,
Jochem.

Thanks! I'm glad that the book is finally published and
available to the 
public.

I guess it depends on what "extreme/complex smarty
caching" means. I wrote 
the chapter on caching and there is definetely a lot of
content on 
conditional caching as well as other features, but it still
doesn't matter 
much if I don't know exactly what you mean.

caching groups. (does that even exist or am I confused?)
[complex] conditional caching.
caching pages where parts of the page needs to stay
completely
dynamic.

It's difficult to describe what I mean because of the fact
that
I don't grok the smarty cache functionality - bit of a
chicken 'n' egg
problem - although what you mention sounds like it could do
me some good
to read....

thanks for the feedback.

They do exist and yes, we do cover them on the book. Caching
portions of 
pages is also covered, and so is conditional caching.
