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.

very good method of showing the hidden aspects of Drupal module development , with some googling this book is a handy one.

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.
