Create Media-Rich Websites with New Drupal Book

Packt is pleased to announce a new book that helps developers to create, customize and blend images, videos, and audio into their Drupal website. Written by Content Management expert Aaron Winborn, Drupal Multimedia teaches users to integrate multimedia and contribute modules for a Drupal website.

Drupal is a free Open Source modular framework and Content Management System (CMS). Drupal is extremely scalable, making it ideal for both a simple personal website as well as an industrial strength commercial or institutional web presence. Written in the programming language PHP/MySQL, its power and flexibility combined with its exceptional design means it is one of the most popular choices for creating a CMS website.

This book will help developers to contribute modules for adding media, store and display images in any configuration, scale and crop images with ImageCache, and add effects to their images on a Drupal website. They will also learn to create thumbnail overlays with jQuery and custom audio fields.

Along with focusing on customizing images, this book will help readers learn to add and manipulate videos using the File Field module, use Views, embed Media Field, and other tools to make embedded videos easier. This book will also help tackle media problems from the content editors, administrators, and developers point of view.

This book will provide information for administrators and professional website developers who are required to integrate multimedia into their Drupal website. This book is out now and is available from Packt. For more information please visit http://www.packtpub.com/create-multimedia-website-with-drupal/book
