Hi everyone,
I've just posted a review of Ric Shreves book - "Drupal 6 Themes" at:

http://hodges-model.blogspot.com/2008/12/book-review-ric-shrevess-drupal...

and submitted it to Amazon. I'll be reviewing Bill Fitzgerald's "Drupal for Education and E-Learning" in due course (once the review of Gary Hall's "Digitize this Book!" is complete).

The Ubercart e-commerce module package has just made it into beta territory on Drupal 6. We were holding off making an official release until after modules that we integrated with for out of the box image support achieved some level of stability. With both CCK and Views now trucking along on Drupal 6, it's past time for Ubercart to make the switch. We've also been holding up to get some comprehensive testing, but looking at the usage statistics, there are about 1,000 people more "testing" Ubercart in development and production sites than we imagined.

So, stores have been popping up on dev releases for the last couple of months, but as of today there is an official beta release available for use. There are a few known issues detailed in the release notes, and at this point we aren't encouraging users to performs updates on live sites from Drupal 5. However, we'd love for more people to be building Ubercart sites on Drupal 6 and doing test updates in development environments so we can work out any existing kinks in the update functions.

I'm pleased to announce the release of my Drupal Virtual Lab training kit, which includes everything you need to learn Drupal and start building your first Drupal-powered site. The kit will be sold by devGuide.net.
