That’s right, I wrote my first book together with Emma Jane Hogbin and I’m very excited! Front End Drupal teaches you how to customize a Drupal website. It doesn’t just explain how you can create a theme, but it also introduces you to the concepts and structure of a web page generated by Drupal (blocks, regions, menus, form elements and so on) as well as making the theme interactive using JavaScript and jQuery.
The first reviews are in and they are looking great! Addison Berry, co-author of O’Reilly’s awesome Using Drupal book did an extensive review of the book and writes:
[…] Overall, a great book, jam-packed with lots of learning. Congrats to Emma and Konstantin for producing another great book in the Drupal library.
I can’t say enough good things about this book. […] If you are only going to buy two or three Drupal books, make sure this one is always handy while you are working.
Jeff Eaton from Lullabot, also a co-author of O’Reilly’s Using Drupal book writes:
It’s a great find for anyone who’s looking to understand the pieces and how they fit together.
Go to http://frontenddrupal.com to read more about the book and learn about ways to obtain it. To my knowledge, Front End Drupal is also the first Drupal book available for Amazon’s Kindle (Drupal association affiliate link)!

I just started reading the book (I bought the ebook) and seems really interesting, I can’t wait to test few things on my own Drupal website which I am doing now. Regards Marco Mosetti
Great, just what I was looking for. Any idea where I can purchase it apart from online? Do not like online transactions much :) Thanks for the information.
On page 168, you use node_load( $vars[ ‘nid’ ] ) to get the node to work with, but on page 162 you just just use $vars[ ‘node’ ] top get the node being worked with.
What is the difference between these 2 methods? Isn’t $vars[ ‘node’ ] up to date? This is not exactly explained in the book. I would greatly appreciate clarification on this.
Thanks, RD
ist auch eine deutschsprachige Ausgabe geplant?
I haven’t gotten very far, yet, due to limited reading time. But I’ve flipped through and looked around and I must say this looks like one meaty book. I’ve been using Drupal for 4 years and it looks like I’ll be learning some new tricks.

Sounds like a very useful and interesting book. My father is supposed to do the internet web page of the school he’s teaching at, so it could be quite necessary!
Congratulations on the book. I have heard so much about Drupal and after reading your post, I would like to test drive it. Do they have a free trial period?
