| Summary: | Using Drupal, web professionals can create full-featured websites with just a few clicks. Drupal's core is compact and well documented, but much of Drupal's immense power lies elsewhere: in external modules that, until now, have not been well documented. Now, however, there's Drupal's Building Blocks, an authoritative tutorial, reference, and cookbook for Drupal's most valuable modules. The authors are Drupal insiders who've spent years creating and supporting these modules-Earl Miles, developer of the Views module, and Lynette Miles, Drupal documentation team member. They've brought together indispensable, up-to-date information you won't find anywhere else, as well as extensive sample "recipe" code designed for easy adaptation and reuse.
