Drupal for Education and E-learning is a must-have for any teacher, school or education institution considering a new school website, or technology-centric project in the classroom. Whether the reader has heard of Drupal or not, the book provides valuable insights, empowering ideas and simple instructions to help get any teacher or school on their way to having a powerful, useful and valuable learning resource.
Drupal 6 Themes by Ric Shreeves on Packt Publishing is a great resource for newbie Drupal themers. Themers who are not from a programming background will find it especially useful since it starts with the basics and builds up to more complex yet powerful techniques such as hook_form_alter().
Perhaps I am too critical or my expectations are too high. In any case I was disappointed with Building Powerful and Robust Websites with Drupal 6. It may be somewhat useful for Drupal beginners seeking an introduction, general guidance or even basic help, but it lacks the detail and usefulness beginners are likely to need to get tasks done early on. I would expect most Drupal beginners to require more complete and comprehensive resources than what this book provides.
Packt Publishing contacted me a couple of weeks back to ask me to review their new drupal book Drupal 5 Themes by Ric Shreeves in exchange for a copy of it. I was a little surprised, but accepted graciously. Given the number of short reviews of the book that have been published on Planet Drupal and drupal.org recently I'm beginning to wonder how many others received the same offer.
I often forget the joy of a lazy day, relaxing with a book and enjoying the sun. (ok, I'm still indoors today, but it's early!)
This holiday morning I started to read Paul Hawken's Blessed Unrest, and in the first 10 pages I was so moved, I had to share my estastic discovery of what he calls the "Largest movement in the World (and Why No One Saw It Coming)".
Check out this video to get a sense of what I mean, and buy the book!
