Just in time for holiday reading, I've released THREE new Drupal workbooks.

Multimedia and Drupal 7

Earlier this year two of my good friends asked me to build them a web site for their band, Beckon. This workbook outlines (in great detail...over 70 pages) how I built the features you see on the site and even more features that are still in the works.

Multilingual Content in Drupal 7: An introduction

I won't lie: multilingual content can be enough to make your head spin if you don't understand the basics. Fortunately a lot of programmers have spent a lot of time developing the multilingual capabilities of Drupal--so it is possible to create a multilingual Web site...if you know how. This guide walks you through the basics of content translation models and creating your own multilingual sites with Drupal. Perfect for site builders with experience creating Drupal sites, but with no experience working in multiple languages. This guide will help you to choose the right content strategy for your translated content--saving you valuable development time.

Theming Forms in Drupal 7

Matt Haughey (MetaFilter) once said, “Forms are tedious, confusing, often poorly designed, and most people equate their use with things like paying taxes.” In this workbook, you will learn how to alter Drupal’s forms so that their purpose is obvious and they are easy to use. Most Drupal themes focus their styles and manipulations on the customization of content, not input forms. As a themer, you may have created a page template and perhaps individual node templates for each of your content types. This workbook is based on Chapter 6 from Front End Drupal. If you loved my first book, you'll love this workbook.

If you're taking time off over the next couple of weeks I hope you have a great holiday season. :)
