New Drupal book: Pro Drupal Development by John VanDyk and Matt Westgate

You are now able to pre-order the upcoming Drupal book that is being written by John VanDyk and Matt Westgate. This book is going to blow you away. It covers the internals of Drupal 5.0 in depths not attempted anywhere else. The diagrams are clear and informative and a real highlight of the book. Anyone attempting Drupal development at any level will benefit from this book, and it will become an invaluable resource to the Drupal project.

[EDIT: The book covers Drupal 5.0!]

Drupal is one of the most popular content management systems in use today. With it, you can create a variety of community-driven sites, including blogs, forums, wiki-style sites, and much more. Pro Drupal Development was written to arm you with knowledge to customize your Drupal installation however you see fit. The book assumes that you already possess the knowledge to install and bring a standard installation online. Then authors John VanDyk and Matt Westgate delve into Drupal internals, showing you how to truly take advantage of its powerful architecture.
