Front End Drupal: Designing, Theming, Scripting

Tuesday, 06 January 2009

Prentice Hall has just released Front End Drupal: Designing, Theming, Scripting, authored by Emma Jane Hogbin and Konstantin Käfer. This is a book to teach readers how to customize how Drupal looks, with a special focus on Drupal 6 and its new theme engine. Emma Jane and Konstantin cover everything you need to know to create great visual designs and interactivity with Drupal's behaviors, themes, and templates.

They show how to style Drupal sites, make the most of its powerful templating system, build sophisticated community sites, streamline site management and build more portable and flexible themes. Also included are several case studies that walk thru the customization of everything from page templates to Web site forms.

While trained to be a journalist and developing sites for fun, his experience as a webmaster for an ngo and years of volunteering for Indymedia.be led to his current site and server management expertise. This Drupal Developer/Themer & Linux Administrator is the Krimson link between web development & communication. The following quote sums up pretty well why he does what he does: 'Whatever your first issue of concern, media had better be your second, because without change in the media, progress in your primary area is far less likely.'
