Leveraging Drupal

Whom This Book Is For
This is a book you have to read. This is a book you have to work through, because it is so closely pegged to actually working with Drupal that an all-inclusive index would be longer than the book itself. It is my earnest hope that the contents of this book may be shared with many kinds of Drupal users. But it must be said that this is neither a book on Drupal programming dedicated only to highly trained technical staff, on the one hand, nor is it a book designed to walk the casual Drupal end-user through its many features — although it might benefit both.
However, the problem this book attempts to solve — and in this sense, it is perhaps unique — is the sad but true fact that the development of any website today involves the ability to master, with at least a practical level of solvency, a huge number of disciplines. You need to be, in a certain sense, the Renaissance kind of person capable of either dealing with or (and this is extremely important) delegating, when you cannot, an extremely wide range of skills. This means that you are very often in the position of needing to get up to speed on a wide variety of issues. This book attempts to bring them into a single, convenient space.
In short, this is a book designed for people who, given a set of website requirements and a community of users who need to use that website, have to learn how to fashion Drupal to their needs, how to domesticate Drupal — in short, how to get it done
