The Drupal Book
July 31, 2007 - 21:06 — hpn
I finally got my copy of Pro Drupal Development yesterday. Drupal has changed lives of many in past several years, and mine isn't different. It was not just the curiosity about what's in the book that made me buy it, but also the opportunity the book provides in filling gaps of what you might have overlooked in hurry.
I've been reading through the book whenever I've had time for past one day. The book looks well structured and simple. More about the book once I'm done reading it completely.

I've tried using drupal for various efforts of mine and have ended up implementing from scratch. But, I would love to get a grip on drupal, sometime. So, a post on the good and bad (if any) on the book will be appreciated :-P.
PS: Loaning the book will be rewarded ;-)

Apress does seem to be coming up with a lot of good books..
That book is very well written too.. I've learnt most of what I've learnt about Drupal by rigorously reading code and rummaging through the API.. I'd have really liked this an year earlier!
BTW, they shipped free copies of that book to all GSoC students this year.
Actually, Robert Douglass's 'Building online communities with phpBB, Drupal and Wordpress' is pretty good too.
