Product Description:
Drupal is a hugely popular and widely celebrated open-source Content Management System that is day-by-day becoming the first choice of people for building blogs and other websites. Sir Tim Berners-Lee (the father of the Internet), Hillary Clinton, and many others utilize Drupal to fulfil their online requirements.
Drupal is an elegantly designed, well-supported and flexible platform that anyone can use in order to create their own website. With such a powerful tool at your fingertips there is no longer any need to pay professionals to design a site when you can do the same job yourself absolutely free. All it takes is a bit of practice!
This book meets the booming demand for well presented, clear, concise, and above all practical information on how to move from knowing you want a website all the way through to designing and building it like a pro, and finally successfully managing and maintaining it.
Experienced technical author David Mercer expertly guides the reader through all the stages of building a professional website in a plain, articulate manner. Aimed in particular at beginners to Drupal, this book will allow readers to advance rapidly up the learning curve to the point where they can tackle any problem with confidence.

Building powerful and robust websites with Drupal 6
It looks like the folks at Packt Publishing have done their best to have this tutorial hit the market immediately after the release of Drupal 6. In other words, it bears all the marks of a hasty job.
Numerous typos in the book support this view. Worse is the fact that the beta or early versions of Drupal 6 have undergone revisions that are absent from the book. The current Drupal version, 6.8, got rid of menu items or fields ... Read More
Rating:  - Great overview of Drupal
I'm a Drupal newbie, and I appreciated the way that this book covered all the different aspects of Drupal. Granted, it didn't go into very much depth, but it did well in giving a general overview of the program, and how to use it. It also gives a brief idea of the possibilities available to the web programmer.
Rating:  - Just OK.
I'm new to Drupal and this book served as a cursory review of the functionality found in Drupal.
Rating:  - Good update on Drupal 6
David Mercer did a very good job at updating his previous book on Drupal, "Drupal: Creating Blogs, Forums, Portals, and Community Websites", that was published on April 1006.
Although only two years have passed, the new features have quickly piled up.
This book can be read over one evening, but more time will be necessary if you are new to this Content Management System (or, as the Drupal community prefers it, Content Management Framework)

Rating: - SELECT $this -> book && return oops
If the title of this review has any particular meaning to you then buy a different Drupal book. If the title of this post looks like gibberish this is the book for you.
I was hoping for a high level pass over the Drupal architecture, and the basics of developing a Drupal site. This book is more of a point-and-click your way to the ultimate blog approach.
Despite being the wrong book for me it's not bad. It actually provides a nice walk through of the Drupal "GUI" and all ... Read More
