About The Book

Today? This book is a work-in-progress.

As mentioned in the previous section, there are multiple goals. If I get Contributors along the way? Great. If not? Great. This purpose of this book is not profit. It is more a personal manual and personal journal.

• If it can be written, it is known.
• If it is known, it is reproducible.
• If it can be complicated, someone will do so.
• If it isn't documented, it doesn't exist.

A n00b's Guide to Drupal, Development, & Everything (Or something like that...), is a project to leverage multiple long-term goals:

• Build an understanding of the available tools within:
  • Atom,
  • Visual Studio Code
  • LeanPub,
  • GitBook,
  • GitHub, Git,
  • Jeff Geerling's Drupal-Pi,
• Create a viable Study Guide for each of the the Acquia Certified Drupal Developer Exams:
  • Certified Drupal Site Builder
  • Certified Developer Exam
  • Certified Developer Back-End Specialist Exam
  • Certified Developer Front-End Specialist Exam
  • Acquia Certified Grand Master Certification
    • Requires: Acquia Certified Developer Certification
    • Requires: Acquia Certified Developer – Front End Specialist Certification
    • Requires: Acquia Certified Developer – Back End Specialist Certification
  • Any other Certifications as they come!

• Have fun playing in Git and Authoring content.

  The 'final' product will likely be a set of serialized volumes, each detailing a specific role and growth for prospective Devs and Admins.

• Volume I
  • Drupal verbiage, knowledge, Site Building, and Administration.
