Drupal: Creating Blogs, Forums, Portals, and Community Websites: How to setup, configure and customise this powerful PHP/MySQL based Open Source CMS Review by John Kenney

Don't buy this book! Consider the new edition

If you are new to Drupal (and those are the only people who shold be buying this book), I suggest you think twice about it. This book is perfectly good and I got a lot of value out of it when I was starting out a few months back, but there is a NEWER VERSION out. The new edition covers Drupal version 6 which is the latest version of the Drupal software. This edition covers version 5.

The only reason why you might want this book now is if you are new to Drupal AND you specifically have reason to be using Drupal version 5. If that's you, then this book is for you.

Note: If you do buy this book, do not follow his instructins about installing Apache2Triad. I did and only later learned that this is a very old package that is not well supported. After a few months, I switched over to XAMPP, a much more widely used and current Apache/mySQL/PHP/Perl implementation.
