<div>Doesn't that first book, about Drupal, just cover up to Drupal 4.x.y, since it</div> <div>was published April of 2006? Are there major changes with Drupal 5.x.y that</div> <div>would create problems for a user reading a book covering an older version?</div> <div> </div> <div>Hi,</div> <div>If I'm looking for tutorials/training/handbooks, say from the site, that cover, "If </div> <div>one were trying to quickly build a Drupal site from start to usable for site visitors,"</div> <div>where might I look on the site(s) for that kind of documentation? </div> <div> </div> <div>Also, while it might be good for me to learn a book that draws upon such</div> <div>advanced skills as PHP, I would also want to give some documentation to the</div> <div>end-user, specifically a totally non-technical end-user... users that may not know</div> <div>HTML, much less CSS, much less PHP... where I am
indicating that PHP, as a</div> <div>programming language is far more complex and advanced a topic then CSS</div> <div>which is more advanced then just plain old HTML. </div> <div> </div> <div>Assuming that the first book is ok for use with the latest versions of Drupal than that</div> <div>would be a good book for me. Let me know what you all think about that, please.</div> <div>Then, I'd ask for instructions/tutorial pages/handbook pages for a non-technical</div> <div>end-user.</div> <div>Thanks,</div> <div>Bruce<BR><BR><B><I>Mitch Wander <Mitch@MyTroops.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"><FONT face=Arial>Bruce,<BR><BR>Assuming paper books (old style) are an option, here are two choices.<BR><BR>If you're trying to quickly build a Drupal site from start to usable for site visitors try:<BR>Drupal: Creating Blogs, Forums, Portals, and Community
