I think there is a philosophical point here: customization often demands spare time and or money. Over time, Drupal and its slew of modules are making it easier and easier to customize more and more in less and less time. But there is a level of fine grained control that is either going to cost you time or money. <br>
<br>I've done pretty well in working with clients to get them to see this issue in such a way that they were either a: more comfortable spending more money, or b: were willing to give up on certain customizations to save cost.<br>
<br>Also, once you've got a client understanding this point once, working with them is a pleasure. I, like the next guy/gal, love pleasing my client with the answer "no problem, will be quite inexpensive" because a great module exists and the client is amazed at how little it will cost. However, no matter how great Drupal is, at some point customization and time/money come banging against each other. Getting clients and new users of Drupal to understand this is quite helpful.<br>

</div>I installed it at first, but then it was too much PHP work required to<br>
customize the page, and I am still not comfortable with playing with PHP<br>
so I ditched it. It also had a huge security hole if I remember correctly.<br>
<br>
P.S. The PHP codes in the Drupal Dev book is a bit too much for me to<br>
digest. Is there any better place I can start who really don't have<br>
much spare time in hand?<br>
