My favorite part of my career is training people how to use Drupal. I’ve been recommending this book since the day it came out and I got my 1st copy.
I really love how this book starts at the beginning. If you’re more advanced you can skim the beginning BUT many people will read and reread the beginning. I’m so glad that it’s there.
This book assumes nothing. It lets you know what you need to know. It walks you through the important concepts you need to understand THEN walks you through the steps by step instructions to accomplish the tasks you need to perform as a Drupal site builder and administrator.
The fact that the book is good for Druapl6 and Drupal7 audiences is a pure bonus!
I love Drupal because its awesome. It is certainly comforting to know that this is another awesome book about Drupal!

From the Introduction to Beginning Drupal: “This book focuses on Drupal 7, but the changes since Drupal 6 are highlighted where appropriate.” Well I’m deep in Chapter 4 and can only remember one “highlighted change”.
I started the book with a working version 6 of Drupal, but soon got completely lost as it’s really a version 7 book. At this time Drupal 7 is only available in it’s 4th Alpha version. Version 7 is a lot different.
I did install a local version of Drupal 7 Alpha 4 and now I’m following along fine with the book. Version 7 will be released sometime this year and it’s worth learning and being ready in my opinion, but the author should have been way more clear in what this book is about.
