Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Does not cover Drupal 5
This is an excellent book, covering significantly more material than its predecessor, which was for Drupal 5. Note, however, that it does not illustrate differences between Drupal 5 & 6, so if you are doing Drupal 5 development you have to get the first version as well. This wasn't clear to me before the purchase.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not for begginer
I am completely new to Drupal and bought this book thinking that I could learn from it. Not a very good book for newbies on the Drupal platform.

Definetely, I will have to return this one. The Pro really stand for Professional Drupal Developer.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The essential Drupal coding book
If you're new to Drupal and just want to learn how to be an effective admin, this isn't for you.

If you're looking to customize Drupal by adding new functionality, new node types, advanced themeing the **you must get this book**.

Clearly written. Useful examples. Accurate. Detailed backmatter for professional Drupal coding practices.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Overall Great Update, with Some Issues
This is a review for the second edition, covering Drupal 6.

The first thing to know is that while reading this, if you are working through the examples, you will want to have the Drupal API handy (http://api.drupal.com) as there are infrequent calls to depreciated functions such as variable_delete() instead of the current variable_del() that may make the learning process more difficult for people ...

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Only for Version 5
Seems to be a great book easy to follow - but it's for version 5 of Drupal. None of the examples work with Version 6. So if you up to date on your code, don't bother with this book.
