Publisher Description
Filled with practical examples, this book helps you to understand the logic behind the theming system employed in Drupal, and how to make it work for you. You will learn key concepts and work through examples with careful, step-by-step instructions.The main requirements to make use of this book are knowledge of HTML, CSS, and a touch of creativity. You don't need to know anything about theming in Drupal; all you need is basic experience of working with Drupal. Although this book aims to make Drupal theming accessible to designers, theming in Drupal 7 involves writing some PHP code, and a basic knowledge of PHP will be helpful. Regardless of your technical skills, this book will teach you to design themes for your Drupal websites quickly and easily.
Customer Reviews
Good for information, poor writing and editing
This book seems to be pretty much what I've been looking for - a straight-forward exposition of Drupal's theming layer in version 7 that assumes some Web development experience and incrementally builds upon the instruction through the book.
However I need to note that I'm shocked at how poorly it was edited, if at all. In fact I doubt that there was even too much proofreading applied. Sentences routinely break at bizarre places, it can be hard at time to interpret the point of some phrasing, and there are many obvious typos as well.
Given that, this book is still a trove of very helpful content as, even with all of the Drupal material online, I've found it almost impossible to find one source that can expose the amazing applicability yet extremely arcane structure of the theming layer as well as this book does. If you already have some Web development under your belt but are fairly new to Drupal, I'd highly recommend getting this book as at least the first step towards understanding how it all works.
