This was my first venture into Drupalville, a little play on words, referencing the initial project that you will develop when you follow this book. This book does a great job getting you grounded in the proper way to approach Web projects. The process of Defining what you want to accomplish is spelled out with a critical overview. Anyone with a project manager or business analyst perspective will not be bored as this reminder is often necessary. Those who get charged up can go on the acquire Cindy McCourt's book "Drupal, The Guide to Planning and Building Websites" which I acquired prior to committing to actually learning Drupal.
If you are a developer, you can follow the step-by-step process to install Drupal and get started. The book does not assume that some obscure "Administrator" exists in your world who will "set you up" with an account. You are that person, and you can easily accomplish what is necessary to get started. PC or Mac? Doesn't matter. Local or Remote? Remote is recommended for obvious reasons, much less to do, and help is available. I got impatient and installed it locally with a simple download package. That got me started and I completed enough modules to know this book is excellent. Concomitantly, I acquired a new computer, and I really should start again, following their approach, on the new installation.
I found the Drupal terminology explained very clearly. Even the simple terms are introduced and then re-inforced by the web creation process. One interesting approach is to wait until Chapter 12 to discuss the End User. The whole concept of creating special access web pages (or content) or setting up unique permissions can clearly wait until you know what you are doing. By Chapter 12 you should know what you are doing, and whom your target audience is.
I think anyone can get started in Drupal with this book; you'd be a dummy to buy a different book!
By Mark Freemantle
I haven't finished the book, but when you buy the book you get free time on their on-line training. I started using that and got stuck in the Drupal upgrade process. Their help guys worked with me patiently and effectively to resolve it, resolving a problem I have been struggling with for most of a year! That alone was worth buying the book. The book works through the development of a dummy Drupal site, continuous hands-on development. Good stuff.
