Drupal 7 Development
I'm continuing my somewhat slow attempt to become a Drupal expert. After finishing up a couple of general Drupal books from Packt, I started "Drupal 7 Module Development," also from Packt. I got up to chapter four, then put it down in frustration. I'll likely pick it up again, but it's not an easy book to read straight through, with little prior Drupal dev experience.

So, then I picked up "Pro Drupal 7 for Windows Developers," and I'm doing much better with that one. I just finished chapter 5, which walks you through the creation of a simple, but non-trivial, module. I found it fairly easy to follow, and a good start. The book is (obviously) written for Windows programmers looking to learn Drupal, specifically ASP.NET developers, so it's a good fit for me.

There's still a lot more to learn. Drupal's API and hook system are fairly complex and extensive. But I think I'm on the right path.
