Offline / download (downloadable) / PDF Drupal API reference

I’ve been looking for an offline or pdf version of the Drupal API found here: http://api.drupal.org/

In the end I gave up and followed the advice of a fellow Drupal developer and created an offline copy of the Drupal docs using Httrack: http://www.httrack.com/.

Please remember to only use this occasionally as you are effectively hammering Drupal’s servers.

Switching from Symfony to Drupal

I’ve taken the decision to switch from Symfony to Drupal for my latest personal project.

Although Symfony seemed really promising at first I found myself constantly fighting against quirks here and there that slowed down development. I’m not saying its not a good PHP MVC framework to build your next web project with. It just wasn’t suitable for something I needed up and running quickely.

So on to Drupal… I’ll blog as I go along. One thing I can say it the amazing documentation thats maintained by the Drupal user community. Its very complete and detailed making my life an awful lot easier :)
