d7

Has anyone attempted a D7 installation on IIS using MSSQL yet? I have a client with very specific requirements, and was curious to find out others' experiences in this area.

Thanks!

We've set up a multi-site d7 "farm". New installations are going well, upgrades from d6 are rough.

I created this group to see what kind of interest there is in running Drupal 7 on a Windows environment. There is already a group to dedicated to Drupal on IIS, which has a good following of people interested in getting Drupal running under Microsoft's Internet Information Servier. The group is mostly focused on Drupal 6, and has some good content.

I wanted a group to discuss the specific issues around running Drupal 7 on Windows, particularly the use of Microsoft's SQL Server as a replacement for MySQL. This is made possible by the work done by a team at Microsoft that wrote a driver for SQL Server, and then packaged up the whole thing as an installable item.

D7 er ute. Spørsmålet er når man tør utelukkende bruke D7 til nye sites. Det er garantert folk der ute med praktisk erfaring på hvilke moduler som mangler d7-versjon, eller som kun har sluppet i alpha/beta-versjon. Kanskje mest problematisk er Views/Ctools som begge fortsatt er i alpha.

Har noen satt i produksjon sider med d7 og views? Noen som har erfart problemer?

Hello, everybody! I just finished a book, Pro Drupal 7 for Windows Developers. It should be going to press this week and be available mid-February.

The book is an programmer's introduction to Drupal, coming from a Windows developer's a point-of-view. I cover the Drupal page lifecycle and how it differs from the .NET page lifecycle. I talk about the hook model and how it differs from .NET's event-driven architecture. I also have an introduction to PHP for the C/C# programmer, since PHP might be new to a lot of Windows developers.

Just in time for the official release of Drupal 7.0, Packt has released a book concentrating on (what you may not know yet) about Drupal 7.

This article is more of a book-review -- an introspection of how the book might valuable to you (or us). Read on for my per-role chapter highlights.

What about the book?

Congratulations to the hard-working developers, documentation team, beta testers, and everyone in the community who have made Drupal 7 such a leap forward. Can't wait to dig in and start building sites with this puppy.

Anyone up for a D7 release party? I'll bring the cake if someone can provide a venue.

It's the first Friday of the New Year. Let's get things rolling again in this group, eh?

Anybody see the D7 release party page?

Is there a party planned here in Western Montana?
