Drupal Books

I read the first edition when it first came out and it helped me enormously in my career. This book skips all the fluff that you can easily learn by reading threads in the handbook and heads straight to the "here's how to write code for Drupal."

* If you are a Drupal user who wants to become a developer, you need this book.
* If you are a programmer who needs to write some Drupal code you need this book (you probably also need an intro to Drupal).

The second edition is out now and even better. It makes some parts easier to read and expands on whole new areas. Perhaps most importantly it covers the newly released Drupal 6.x which is the current version of Drupal and will likely be around until at least 2011. This is a book that won't be outdated for a long time.
