Okay, so I don't normally review books. I was approached and asked to review this Drupal book and I couldn't turn it down. Without a doubt, search engine optimization is a big factor to the fail or success of a website these days and some companies pay big money to get that no.1 ranking in Google. As a developer, it couldn't hurt to learn a little more about the subject and have it in mind when developing for clients.

For the first, in Paris, all the database maintainers of Drupal were in the same place at the same time. From the left is David Strauss (MySQL Driver), Larry Garfield (Database and MySQL Driver), Károly Négyesi (SQLite Driver), Damien Tournoud (SQLite and PostgreSQL Drivers) and myself (PostgreSQL Driver). Though there are only 5 of us. Each database in Drupal 7 has 2 maintainers for its Driver. At the time of this post there are no other CMS's around that have dedicated maintainers to there CMS pushing Drupal further as the best CMS and framework around.

Sick of repeating the same steps every time I wrote a custom module for a project, I decided to write a simple script that generated the base structure for creating a Drupal module.

Being a developer who likes to make stuff take less time by spending ages on the tools that make it take less time, I extended the simple script and turned it into a debian package.

So! I give to you! a debian package to easily download and install on your Ubuntu or Debian machine and start using this great tool.

Firstly you need to some stuff that makes the tool work: php5-cli and libreadline:

As all well and done providing PostgreSQL support for Drupal Core - it an important job that provides future proofing for thousands of projects around the world. But it doesn't, well that is to say it shouldn't, stop at just core.
