Planning and Managing Drupal Projects: Drupal for Designers

by Dani Nordin

If you're a solo website designer or part of a small team itching to build interesting projects with Drupal, this concise guide will get you started. Drupal’s learning curve has thrown off many experienced designers, particularly the way it handles design challenges. This book shows you the lifecycle of a typical Drupal project, with emphasis on the early stages of site planning. Learn how to efficiently estimate and set up your own project, so you can focus on ways to make your vision a reality, rather than let project management details constantly distract you.

Although really short, this book was ALSO really disappointing. I was hoping for a management-level orientation to drupal and to what might make it different from other content management systems, in implementation and practice. Instead, I got a nebulous description about how to actually project manage a drupal project without going into much technical detail at all. This could just as easily have been about almost any other CMS. Frustrating.

Good intro for a new freelancer who is also getting started with Drupal. There's a lot of non-Drupal content here — good information for someone starting out client work for the first time, but nothing new if you're already in the business. The parts about Drupal were very basic, but that's more or less what I expected based on the title.
