book review

Technology is changing the way in which we do the normal day to day things, Libraries are changed to Digital Libraries, Educational institutions and corporate are moving to no paper offices. Building up a corporate Intranet System is the need of hour.

Drupal for Education & E-Learning is a great work by Bill Fitzgerals which can be used to build your own intranet system.

The book gives a step by step guide to build up a complete intranet for your college/school and how to effectively use it for better communication

Drupal 6 Site Builder Solutions by Mark Noble

This is another book in the Packt Publishing series on using Drupal. To quote from the back cover ...

Another book in the drupal revolution! This book is unique in that it is really a "cookbook" for a teacher (of any kind) to setup a new drupal site to use to enhance their classes.

Technology books are generally expected to be on the shelves shortly after major releases of a particular software and therefore do not receive the most thorough editing possible. They're also quite expensive considering they have a relatively short shelf life because they're only really in demand until the new version of the software is released. Given that this book delivers on both counts and exhaustively details the cheesy example of Doug's Dino store, it's still a worthy read.

Summer is totally around the corner! No doubt about that. ;)

I've been buzzing myself lately with work, giving talks, and client projects and I think it's time for a well-deserved break...
