This book is aimed at anyone looking to create their own social networking web site, including: Businesses ? building a Social Network around a product or service can improve your company profile and increase customer loyalty.

Hobbyists ? create a community around your hobbies and interests; create a local or distributed user group. Organisations & Charities ? Raise your profile, promote your events / services / fundraisers and get help from the community in organizing them. Families ? For large families based across the country or across the globe, keep up to date with everyone, and let everyone know what you are up to. You don't need any experience of Drupal or PHP to use this book. If you are a Drupal user you will find this book a great way to rapidly tailor an existing installation into a social-orientated web site.

Format:Taschenbuch
Das Buch behandelt zuerst die Installation von Drupal. Danach wird diversen Zusatzmodulen, welche für Social-Network-Sites wichtig sind, gewidmet. Das Buch ist sicherlich eher für Anfänger gedacht.
Ich habe bereits vor diesem Buch eine Drupal-Seite im Bereich Social Networking aufgesetzt. Insofern waren neuen Infos in dem Buch sehr beschränkt.

Ist besonders für den Drupal Anfänger gedacht, kann aber auch Tipps und nützliche Module für den fortgeschrittenen Drupal-Admin bereithalten.

Somehow good for both experienced and novice drupalites
28. April 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
I really like this book, it covers a lot of territory in a very practical way, while also digging into the "why's" of things should be done the way Michael suggests. Understanding the "why's" is important so that if you want your site to do something different, you can make a good decision about the implementation.
The book is also very "satisfying." I'm a deep technical person [...], though don't have much Drupal experience. I was afraid, I'd have to bite my tongue and toothpick my eyes open to read this book for the Drupal specifics. That's not been the case. It's an easy read, interesting, and relevant. I'm currently thinking about a few new social projects, and while I wouldn't go so far to say that you should read this book whatever platform you are deploying on; I would say that you should consider prototyping on Drupal with this book in hand so you could make a better platform decision once you know more about building a social site. (sorry about the run-on sentence!).
I gave it a 4 instead of 5 stars, because there are a few places where there are typos that affect the content, and other places where ideas are used before they're explained, or a final screen shot that brings it all together is missing. I realize it's really boring to read a lot of explanations, and then read about the example, and sometimes it's best to talk about the example, and explain stuff after. It just makes it harder to read because I'm trying to figure out if something will be explained later, or if I need to look online before reading further.
This book has saved me a LOT of time researching Drupal and its plugins on line, so really glad I'm reading it. There were a lot of good references for further reading about the topics discussed AND the topics referenced, but not discussed in the book.

A+++ Would Buy Again
2. Juli 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
I wish I had gotten this book back in January when I first started planning a social network I'm working on! As I read the book, I found myself thinking, "Wow, this is perfect! I had no idea adding X was so easy!" I kept reading and quickly realized I was doing that for almost every section.
PROS:
# Great for teaching the proper way to run a website - not just social networks, but any site that has more than one user.
# Step by step instructions with an example website to follow along, but still easy to understand what's going on without actually making their website.
# Helps teach different ways to build user interaction with administrators, other users and the website in general.
CONS:
# There are a number of areas where you are taught to make a module, but the book explains that it's not doing it the right way. I imagine it could take too long to explain the "right" way, but it's annoying none the less.
# This book may not be too basic for Drupal Ninjas who already know the modules and processes needed to create and manage the topics covered.
# If you don't already know Drupal, the introduction might be too steep.
# There were a number of places where the book says "this module isn't yet available for Drupal 6, but keep checking the website for updates!" It may be potentially helpful, but I eventually found it annoying.
# There is a section where there are pages upon pages of code. I can't imagine why we need that printed in the book since the only reason for the code is to actually follow along with the example (and you'd have the real files for that). Huge waste of paper and time going through that.
CONCLUSION: There are more cons than pros, but the pros are significantly stronger points than the cons. This is a great book to read after Using Drupal. I can't begin to say how much it's helped me so far, and I'm confident that it's tips for modules and user interaction will influence how I build nearly every other website I make from this point on. If Using Drupal is 10/10, I can safely say that Drupal 6 Social Networking is 8/10.

Holistic writing for a specific need
8. April 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
I won this book recently at a Drupal group, and I'm finding it more well-written than I anticipated from the title. The pitfall of a lot of technical books that are written toward a specific goal bypass a lot of the framework and foundation that it takes to achieve these goals. It's great for both the Drupal pro and the newcomer because, heck, even the pro can forget a few minor things along the way. The theme of the book is great too - the "sample" it guides you through is a site for people who have dinosaurs as pets. Really, what this book needs is a new title and a picture of a velociraptor doing some Drupal programming.
