Hacking Movable Type (ExtremeTech) arrived from Amazon.co.uk on Monday and I have read a good chunk of it. The authors, Jay Allen, Brad Choate, Ben Hammersley, Matthew Haughey, David Raynes are just about the top names in the field at the moment so this should be a primary read for anyone interested in extending their MT install. And lets face it if your not interested then you will have gone for Blogger or TypePad.
On the cover though part of the graphic says "Move Over Integrate a Moveable Type install into an existing website" but I have not yet found anything in the book about this important aspect of MT.
I think I need to read the whole thing before I pass a final judgement but so far it's OK but needs more. We shall see.
Oh humble pie! Page 15-20, yes right at the begining of the book which will teach me to dip in all over the place, has a superb 5 minute explanation on how to set-up static pages and utilise your templates fully etc.. This is not exactly integrating it with an existing website(maybee I will find a line or two about that later) but may be a bit of an eye opener for those who have never pushed MT to the limit. Excellent stuff.
