*This review refers to an older edition of the book.*

A great introduction to Drupal, but also an accessible way into MVC, version control, the philosophy behind open-source, collaborative software and even jQuery. As a newbie, I found this a very fulfilling read.

Good foundation for using the open source Drupal content management system. I had looked into Joomla before this, but I think Drupal is much better. It's a lot more complex than Joomla, but gives you a lot more flexibility for building and theming a site.

This is not a book to read cover to cover, but I refer to it now and again in my Drupal journey. Where some of the info seems too technical at times, it also becomes clearer as my knowledge and experience deepen.

A technical book that actually knows it's audience. Well-written and with an abundance of good examples. It's the Drupal bible.

Excellent introduction to Drupal. It started to come together for me when I read the first half of this book and used it as a guide to writing my first module (for D5 ... which is not the same version as that covered in the book ... but it still helped a lot).

With the shift to Drupal 7 I'm not sure how helpful this is going to be. Very good for working with 6. So many functions are radically different in 7, though. I'm hoping for a good book that lays out the differences.

Good introduction, explains many concepts, covers version 6. The real knowledge comes with looking at the code, though.
