Drupal 7 Module Development by Matt Butcher

Drupal 7 Module Development by Matt Butcher

This book takes a hands-on, practical approach to software development. The authors, all professional Drupal developers and contributors to the Drupal project, provide accessible coding samples designed to exhibit not only the technical merits and abilities of Drupal, but also proper architectural and stylistic approaches to coding on one of the world's most popular content management systems. Every chapter provides fully functional code samples illustrating the APIs and strategies discussed in the chapter. With this foundation, developers can quickly build sophisticated tools on their own by making use of the strategies and techniques exemplified in this book. If you are a PHP developer or a Drupal user looking to dive into Drupal development then you will find this book an excellent introduction to coding within Drupal. Those with some Drupal experience will also find this an invaluable tool for updating their knowledge about the powerful new features of Drupal 7. Theme developers looking to extend their abilities will find this an accessible introduction to PHP coding within the Drupal environment. This book assumes that you are familiar with basic PHP programming, along with HTML and CSS. No experience with programming Drupal is required, although it is also a handy way for experienced Drupal developers to get up to speed with Drupal 7.

Matt is a web developer and author. He has previously written five other books for Packt, including two others on Drupal. He is a senior developer for the New York Times Company, where he works on ConsumerSearch.com, one of the most traffic-heavy Drupal sites in the world. He is the maintainer of multiple Drupal modules and also heads QueryPath - a jQuery-like PHP library. He blogs occasionally at http://technosophos.com. Larry Garfield has been a PHP developer for over a decade and a Drupal developer for half a decade. He is currently a Senior Architect and Consultant with Palantir.net, a leading Drupal development firm specializing in institutional non-profit clients. Larry is also the Drupal database maintainer and maintainer of many Drupal modules, and was one of the lead organizers of the GoPHP5 project. He writes about Drupal and, occasionally, other technical subjects at http://www.garfieldtech.com/ John Wilkins has been a web developer for a long time. In April 1993, he was one of the lucky few to use the very first graphical web browser, Mosaic 1.0, and he's been doing web development professionally since 1994. In 2005, John finally learned how idiotic it is to build your own web application framework and discovered the power of Drupal; he never looked back. In the Drupal community, he is best known as JohnAlbin, one of the top 20 contributors to Drupal 7 and the maintainer of the Zen theme, which is a highly-documented, feature-rich 'starter' theme with a powerfully flexible CSS framework. He has also written several front-end-oriented utility modules, such as the Menu Block module. John currently works with a bunch of really cool Drupal developers, designers, and themers at Palantir.net.
