Reviews
“The Drupal 7 title is good for Drupal beginners and novices who are just starting out with Drupal but it also has a wealth of information and resources” —Trevor James - http://books.slashdot.org/story/10/10/20/1311253/Drupal-7
“It also highlights major improvements to previous versions which standout as selling points for Drupal 7 compared to other CMSes around.” —Josh Waihi- http://www.joshwaihi.com/content/review/drupal-7-by-david-mercer
About the Author
David Mercer was born in August 1976 in Harare, Zimbabwe. As he always had a strong interest in science, he came into regular contact with computers at the university where he graduated cum laude with majors in applied math and math (although he minored in computer science).
As a programmer and professional writer who has been writing both code and books for about ten years, he has worked on a number of well known titles, in various capacities, on a wide variety of topics. His books have been translated into over nine different languages to date.
David believes that everyone should be able to benefit from the vast potential of the Internet. He founded Site prebuilder (siteprebuilder.com) to provide education and services to reduce the barrier to entry for Internet newcomers. The aim of Site prebuilder is to empower ordinary, non-techie people with the knowledge and skill required to run any website efficiently.
When he isn't working, which isn’t that often, he enjoys playing the guitar (generally on stage and unrehearsed) and getting involved in outdoor activities ranging from touch rugby and golf to water skiing and snowboarding.
