In Pro Drupal as an Enterprise Development Platform authors Jamie Kurtz and Thomas Besluau
explain how developers can save themselves time and money and build their applications faster
with fewer bugs by using the Drupal CMS as a foundation for their projects. The days when
custom client applications were built entirely from scratch are over. Today it makes business
sense to use a flexible highly scalable framework such as Drupal Joomla or DotNetNuke as a
foundation. This book focuses on why Drupal makes a particularly strong choice for the majority
of developers. With an unprecedented level of community support tens of thousands of
well-proven plug-ins and modules available for download and advanced content management rules
and configuration engines Drupal is flexible enough to provide a firm base upon which almost
all enterprise application developers can build their own custom solutions. As this book will
make clear it is no longer necessary for developers to write complex applications entirely
from scratch for each of their clients. Instead they should begin by using an enterprise-class
CMS like Drupal to provide a robust foundation for them so that they can concentrate their time
and skills into solving the business-specific problems of each individual client maximizing the
value that they add to each assignment. Start reading Drupal as an Enterprise Development
Platform today to get your development team out of the trenches and back on track to delivering
real-world business value.
