Drupal 7 First Look

Publisher’s description:

This hands-on guide takes a look at the main functional areas of Drupal that have significant new features. It explains these new features and how to use them, drawing attention to significant differences from how things used to behave, and giving the reader an idea of the kind of consequences these changes will bring to them. Drupal 7 First Look is written for site administrators, themers, and developers who have some experience with Drupal 6 (or even Drupal 5) and want to upgrade their sites, themes, or modules to Drupal 7 or just learn more about Drupal 7. No programming experience is required, but several code examples are covered for readers that want more in-depth information about building themes and modules.

Review

“On the whole, a great way to dive into Drupal 7 for team members on any level actually working to build Drupal web apps” —Victor Kane

“The book, Drupal 7 A First Look, is a very useful tool in grokking the update from 6 (or even 5) to 7. It will give you a good grounding in the newness and it's pretty darn comprehensive” —David Herron
