Released! Offline Drupal Handbook and API Documentation

One of the benefits of joining the Drupalse Group at Linkedin.com is that members get first notice of updates and changes to "How to do Everything with Drupal". This is an ebook that contains all the Drupal.org Handbook pages and the API documentation. The book is in CHM format which gives features like search, indexing and bookmarking on windows platforms. This compartmentalized version of the documentation will make learning and using Drupal easier and more convenient. At present the file size is just under 50mb of compressed HTML pages and graphics. Some pages are long but this will be adjusted in later versions.

This is a work that takes a lot of effort to produce. An on going effort to make the ebook a complete self-contained archive with very few link to the web. There are also costs involved in hosting the download. To keep it free and available please think about donating or sponsoring the effort. You can read more about sponsorship and advertising.
