[support] Which one is preferable - Drupal 6 OR Drupal 7

[Warren Vail]

I host better than a dozen Drupal sites, and while I am planning to switch
my dev site to D7 in about 6 mos, if that goes well, I'll begin to move my
client sites when I discover the support for D7 (newer and better modules)
is better than D6.  I don't want to expose my clients to "The Bleeding
Edge".

I'm not meaning to recommend that you start with Drupal 6. Eventually, we
will all want to change to version 7. I just wanted to warn of some
potential difficulties for 6 mo or so, and it is hard enough to get up to
speed with Drupal, without having to deal with bugs and limited
documentation.

Re Drupal 7 books, when I went to Amazon, I read some of the reviews of 

"Pro Drupal Development 3rd edition for D7 by John K. VanDyk & Todd
Tomlinson"

 

 and the book was written before Drupal 7 was released. That gave me pause.
BUT, there was a suppor web site for updates, so that may have solved the
problems. It will take awhile for the incredibly rich module library to be
updated to D7, but maybe only the best supported will be updated early and
that will make it easier to select the most robust ones for the very huge
selection of modules.

Good luck,

There are also some basic Drupal 7 screencasts at

D7 is much simpler to install and maintain with many features in built into
core such as CCK and Image.

Check out www.lynda.com. They have training videos on both D6 and D7. Also
www.lullabot.com has a lot of information on both.
