From Tom Johnson
Alan Porter’s WIKI: Grow Your Own for Fun and Profit, published by XML Press in October 2010, provides an excellent introduction to wikis.
Alan has a keen sense of organization and liveliness in his writing.
Alan’s book is a welcome addition to the promotion of wikis and wiki culture.

From Pancho Castano:
I’ve just finished reading Alan Porter’s new book: WIKI: Grow Your Own for Fun and Profit, and it does a great job of introducing this most powerful collaboration and knowledge management tool, wikis.
I wish I had had it when starting on wikis. It will certainly help make its readers’ wiki projects successful.

From Ellis Pratt:
Alan, I’m pleased to say, has not been seduced by the software, but has set the use of a wiki within a very usable framework. He’s spot on when it comes to the benefits a wiki can offer and the implementation approach to take.
