Hi,
I am using d6 for now until d7 is "mature" enough. This would be about 6 months to one year after launch.
All the best.

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,
Bill

There are also some basic Drupal 7 screencasts at http://drupaltherapy.com/date_d7
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.
