Hi,
I’ve been trying to learn the internals of Drupal. Hence, I bought the book on module development. I’m not that impressed. Once again, the book assumes your seasoned Drupal developer, just looking for a few insights.

Whilst, I seen other books ( online) go into great lengths where the classes live and operate from.

I studied Drupal back in the old days of 7/early 8, and now I’m having a steep learning curve for Drupal 9/10. It’s not the modules, but how to develop a website for friend’s business.

There does not seem to be any resource, for an average developer to get up running a website with Drupal 9/10 that is; all the bits like a hero, a footer, content..etc, using whatever framework ( bootstrap, DXPR or others). We have new layout module, paragraphs, but once again - how does that translate into a website. Think of it like this. I used to be commi-chef ( when I was younger). If I was to teach you how to make a beef stock; roast the bones, brown the onions & vegetables, fry the vegetables, add the tomato paste…. If I show you - you’ll be able to make your own stock.

Once again, there are lot of resources out there - but we need someone to sew them all together, so as to make sense.

Sorry for the rant!
Carlo

Hi Carlo, I added links to a few more books on this page. Hopefully you find something that helps you tie it all together.

My biggest complaints about learning Drupal in general is

• Inconsistency in usage of terms
• Conflicting information, esp. with dependency injection

Hopefully none of the information in this book is conflicting. Please let me know if you find any. I'm working hard to try to make it pretty clear.
