Phil Gochenour combines real-world experience designing enterprise information systems with a veteran teacher's ability to explain the basic principles behind any system design, whether it's a cookbook or a software company's wiki. Information System Design Using TWiki takes the reader through a step-by-step project starting with the basic building block of all information systems, the topic, and continuing with sections on metadata, search systems, and usability. The companion website provides sample code that can be used to construct the complete project on the TWiki wiki platform, making it possible for readers to understand TWiki's functionality and potential while constructing a usable system.
