Hi, I want to get into Drupal development (modules and theme hacking).
I find it much easier to learn from books and the only book that I can find that looks like its what I need is "Pro Drupal Development" by John K. VanDyk - it seems like a very authorative book, and seems to cover everything I need.

Two questions:
1. Is this the book?
2. Assuming it is, an updated version is planned for later this year, should I wait for the newer book (updated for Drupal 6) or is this book more than enough and once I'm through with it (and Drupal 5) I'll get 6 without additional trouble (I am runing a Drupal 5.x site now and would like to work on it and improve).

thanks
Moshe

Yes

.. once I'm through with it ... I'll get 6 without additional trouble ...

Once you're through with the book, you will make a lot more sense out of Converting 5.x modules to 6.x and Converting 5.x modules to 6.x.

So, since you already work with Drupal 5, I recommend buying the book now.
