books

Hi everyone. I just wanted to let you know that I registered with Apress, so group members can get a 35% discount on Apress books(40% for 10 or more). This includes Pro Drupal Development, which many of you know is a fantastic, if not essential, Drupal book. There is also a 50% discount on ebooks.

Hey everybody,

We've just been accepted into the O'Reilly User Group Program. This means that as a group, we can get free review copies of O'Reilly books as long as they are used to the benefit of the group.

As the contact for the program, I can request virtually any O'Reilly book for any member - I think that in the spirit of the program, any book we request should be shared with the rest of the group (by the recipient of the book) in the following ways:

1. The recipient should post a review of the book on groups.drupal.org/florida.

Manning Publishing (of the "in Action" series -- jQuery in Action, etc.) has a user group program where they send promotional copies of books and other materials to user groups in exchange for book reviews. Group organizers might be interested in signing up for this program at http://www.manning.com/ugprogram/ .

This is a review I did about six weeks ago but havn't had a chance to load it till now. You can read the general review or help us all even further by responding to some of the criticisms in the detailed review especially if you are familiar with Drupal and the book!

Efter att arbetat med Joomla i ett flertal projekt under ca: 3 år har jag beslutat mig för att titta närmare på Drupal.
Vad jag efterlyser är alltså någon eller några bra böcker (engelska eller svenska) för en nybörjare i systemet Drupal.

Tacksam för tips och rekommendationer på bra lättförståeliga böcker om Drupal.

För några veckor sedan fick jag Pro Drupal Development hemskickad. Jag har nu läst drygt halva boken och skummat resten, och tänkte skriva en sorts recension.

I'm currently working on a project called "outline designer" for release into the Drupal community (5.x branch, out in the next few days as I'm cleaning up the initial release as we speak). What the outline designer does currently:
*Structure nodes in a book visually via drag and drop
*Right click to create, edit, delete, rename, duplicate any node of any allowed type
*Right click to change content type
*Everything is Ajax saved using standardized Drupal node_save architecture
*Ability to enable / disable the ability to create different content types
