Learning Drupal 6 Module Development is a new book from Packt, which acts as a practical tutorial for creating Drupal 6 modules with PHP. Written by Matt Butcher, this book will help users to walk through the development of complete Drupal 6 Modules.
Drupal is a free and open-source modular web application framework and content management system (CMS) written in PHP. It can run in many environments, including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and FreeBSD. It's a modular system, with an elegant hook-based architecture, and great code. These are a few of the perks that make Drupal a choice platform for developers who want the power of an established CMS, but the freedom to make it work for them. From social networking to AJAX to e-commerce, the hundreds of existing modules attest to Drupal's flexibility.
If users are eager to start creating modules for Drupal 6, this is their book. They will walk through the development of complete Drupal modules with this primer for PHP programmers. Specifically written for Drupal 6, this book will get users coding modules as quickly as possible, and help them add the features that will give their work that professional gloss!
This book will give users a clear, concise and, of course, practical guidance to take them from the basics of creating their first module to developing the skills to make them a Drupal developer to be reckoned with. Learning Drupal 6 Module Development covers the new and updated APIs to guide their transition to Drupal 6. The new menu system, the Forms and Schema APIs, and many core revisions are covered in this book.
This book is written for PHP developers who want to add custom features to Drupal. Users will need to know the basics of PHP and MySQL programming, but no experience of programming Drupal is required, although they will be expected to be familiar with the basic operation of Drupal.
