    About this ebook

    Take advantage of Drupal’s vast collection of community-contributed modules and discover how they make this web framework unique and valuable. With this guide, you’ll learn how to combine modules in interesting ways (with minimal code-wrangling) to develop several community-driven websites— including a job posting board, photo gallery, online store, product review database, and event calendar.

    The second edition focuses on Drupal 7, the latest version of this open source system. Each project spans an entire chapter, with step-by-step "recipes" to help you build out the precise functionality the site requires. With this book, developers new to Drupal will gain experience through a hands-on introduction, and experienced Drupal developers will learn real-world best practices.

    • Learn Drupal’s concepts and building blocks, and how everything works together
    • Hit the ground running—build your first Drupal site hands-on
    • Explore solutions that meet each project’s requirements, and discover why specific modules were selected
    • Understand the projects through case studies, including the client’s needs and desires
    • Learn how to configure modules with a bird’s-eye view of how they work
    • Discover new modules, including Drupal Commerce, Media, and Workbench

      Drupal is a popular open source content management system (csm) that flourishes because of some nice architectural ideas (basically a core and (often user developed) modules that add functionality to your website.The documentation on drupal is not excellent, although there is an handbook online, maintained by the drupal community. Coming to terms with drupal is not as easy as it could be. Enter this book.In a number of chapters cases are studied and very explicit help and explanation is given about how to setup drupal and what kind of modules are relevant. In due course one learns to understand drupal, the drupal site, the drupal community, and how to enhance your own website, or the website of your company. It is not a book that goes into much detail when it comes to programming, using css or javascript. It is not a book for developers.The case approach has a number of drawbacks. First of all, not every reader is interested in the cases, which can make reading an entire chapter quite boring. Secondly, the book is not a manual. It can be challenging to find what you need to know while working on your website in this book. It is an introduction that assumes that you will start working on your own after reading the book, of a few chapters.The book is ok, well written and precise, a good introduction to using drupal and the many modules. Having said that, it is boring at times too.
