Lately i was working on a new project using Drupal 6 and jQuery. Drupal is entirely new for me, although i was aware of its success i never used it in a project. So i had to learn the quirks of this CMS from somewhere. And after digging through the online libraries i’ve found 3 great books that helped me alot understanding and learning about Drupal. These 3 books are:
- Pro Drupal Development – Second edition by John K. VanDyk , published by Apress, 2008
- Building powerful and robust websites with Drupal 6, by David Mercer, published by Packt Publishing, March 2008
- Learning Drupal 6 module developement, by Matt Butcher, published by Packt Publishing, May 2008
So this was the first part of the task. I also needed to learn jQuery quickly. The website i am working on its full of Ajax and all kinds of effects like drag and drop and so on. So for learning quickly jQuery you should read:
- jQuery in Action – by Bear Bibault and Yehuda Katz, published by Manning, 2008
- jQuery Reference Guide – by Jonathan Chaffer and Karl Swedberg, published by Packt Publishing, August 2007
- Learning jQuery – by Jonathan Chaffer and Karl Swedberg, published by Packt Publishing, June 2007
These books helped me alot, but if you want to learn you also need to read documentation on the website of these wonderful projects Drupal.org and jQuery.com
