新書：Leveraging Drupal: Getting Your Site Done Right

這本書... 沒看過, 所以只能大概看一下 Amazon 和 drupal.org 的介紹.

定位應該是給比較有經驗的人, 似乎是比較進階的書, Drupal.org 上面的內容大部分都是來自書本的 introduction, 有各個章節的說明. 使用的是一個 On-line Literary Workshop 的實際系統當作例子, 講解如何做出一個這樣的系統.

Amazon 的 Product Description 提到:
這本書是一本 step-by-step 的指南, 但他不僅僅是一個 tutorial 而已, 強調是唯一涵蓋一些困難模組(views, panels, themes, content creation,...)的書, 內容重點如下:

How to upgrade your hopelessly outdated and obsolete-software dependent site and bring it into the Drupal mainstream and future
How to become a great Drupal themer and make "non-Drupal" looking sites
How to really customize Drupal for your real needs
How to start using best practices in Drupal web application development
How to work like the pro Drupal shops and be ready for big projects - and small ones
Learn by example (code samples, theme samples, videos) at every step

Book Cover:
可以學到這些東西

Best practices to optimize the way you approach development projects
Methods for setting up a development environment using version control and issue tracking tools
How the Drupal theming system works and how it separates content from presentation and style
Techniques for upgrading and deploying the online Literary Workshop
The future of Drupal and how it might be developed and used

讀者群的設定是 "Drupal users of all levels of expertise who are looking to put together a sophisticated web application. ", 看來是定位在比較進階的書籍. 上面的幾個主題, 看來應該都不是針對只是拿來單純當個 CMS 的使用者, 都是在介紹如何 development (version control, issue 追蹤的工具), theme 的使用(內容和展示分開), 升級以及部署等.

後記:
我發現翻譯還真不容易, 很多東西改成中文就覺得很容易詞不達意. 譬如說 deploy 就很清楚, "部署"感覺就怪怪的. "Theme" 也很清楚, 要是改成什麼佈景主題之類的會不會讓人更搞不清楚? "best practice" 也很清楚, 如果改成"最佳實做方法"會比較好嗎?
