Preface

Finding documentation


Unfortunately, documentation is the thing that everyone hates to do, especially if they're not being paid to do it. The documentation for Drupal is fairly extensive, but there are some holes. However, when you do find a hole, it's usually easily filled by other sources, such as the many blogs that you can find via your favorite search engine. The Drupal documentation can be found at drupal.org/handbooks.
