Review: Using Drupal
|
|
To quote Wikipedia, "Drupal is a free and open source modular framework and Content Management System (CMS) written in the programming language PHP. It is used as a "back end" system for many different types of websites, ranging from small personal blogs to large corporate and political sites". According to the back cover of this book, "Newcomers will find a thorough introduction to the framework, while experienced Drupal developers will learn best practices..." Cool. A "something for everybody" book. That's one reason why I included a basic definition of Drupal at the beginning of this review. Apparently, you don't have to be particularly familiar with Drupal to find a use for the Byron, Berry, Haug, Eaton, Walker, and Robbins ("whew") book.

This is confirmed on the first page of the Preface in part, by the statement, "If your lead developer can't seem to shut up about this weird 'Drupal' thing, and you want to figure out what on earth she's (to compensate for decades or centuries of using only men as examples in technical books, all modern technical books now feature only women) talking about, this book is for you". The first chapter is an overview of Drupal and the first section is called "What is Drupal", so it's pretty plain that you don't have to be an expert, although later sections are supposed to be written for Drupal gurus.
