I’ve just noticed that there is a new Drupal book under the sun: Drupal 6 Social Networking written by Michael Peacock and published by Packt Publishing.
Evidently the book’s target audience is formed by developers aiming to create social networking sites with Drupal. A task that is not so simple, not even with Drupal.
From the contents of the book:
- User generated content with Drupal core modules
- Managing users and enhancing their profiles
- Enabling user interaction and communication as well as communicating with our users
- Creating a simple map-based module to show how we can extend the network with custom features by creating our own modules
- Customising the theme, and creating custom themes giving the Social Network a unique look of its own
- Deploying the Social Network, and keeping it running smoothly
- Promoting the Social Network so that its user base, and community contributions grow
I’m looking forward to read this book, i will just need to make some time for it.
PS.
If you want to buy it, here is a tip. It seems that there is a 15% discount if you enter the code DrupalSN15 to the shopping cart at the PactPub.com website.
