The first Drupal 10 book has hit the shelves. And to quote The Twilight Zone: "It's a cookbook." While it's not "To serve a developer," it should suit the tastes of both the Drupal site builder or developer looking to make a Drupal 10 site.It's been nearly six years since the Drupal 8 Development Cookbook by Matt Glaman was released by Packt Publishing. Drupal 9 chefs needed to use old recipes or concoct their own in the intervening years. This year, however, Glaman has been joined by Kevin Quillen to create this 3rd edition. Given that Drupal books are not that frequently or abundantly produced and the cookbook was well-regarded in its earlier edition, this new entrant is welcome and worth a look.While not a slim book, it is not as chunky as some of the books that line my shelves (or fill up my Finder directories). That being said, it's concise and focused on learning by doing: a tutorial with explanations and context for getting more out of it and links to where else you can go to get more depth.While there's overlap with the material covered in the Drupal 8 second edition, there's plenty of new and reconfigured material, particularly "creating custom pages, accessing and manipulating entities, running and creating tests using Drupal, and migrating external data to Drupal," according to the Preface.The structure of the book is similar:Each chapter has multiple recipes that include- Recipe title (such as "Customizing the display output of content" in Chapter 2: Content Building Experience or "Creating multilingual views" in Chapture 11: Multilingual and Internationalization)- "How to do it ..." - This is the step by step tutorial, complete with screenshots and clear directions about what to write on the command line or what UI form elements to use.- "How it works..." - They briefly describe what's happening under the hood to give some context the actions taken above.- "There's more..." [optionally provided] - Here's where they provide additional information, implications, alternative approaches to the one given in the tutorial or links to other resources.I came to this book as primarily as a Drupal site builder but one with experience in front end theming and back-end development. I found it a very useful resource, providing enough challenge and enough information to keep me engaged and wanting to know and do more. If you have Drupal experience as at least a site builder and are comfortable creating a local environment, you could also find it a good refresher of foundational Drupal principals of the Symfony-based Drupal and the new features of Drupal 10. And if you are already using DDEV, you are in luck, as that's the dev environment explicitly used in setting up Drupal.In short, I'm really pleased we've got such a worthy first entrant to the Drupal 10 library.

I've been working with Drupal for over a decade now. There has been a few books over time that have been standout and this is the newest one to use for Drupal 10.The authors do a great job of taking you from installation to development. The basics are covered, including content type configuration as well as customization of content forms, display modes, fields as well as workflows. If you want to get up and running, this is a great resource.There are plenty of more advanced topics covered including views, custom modules and API. The API sections were most helpful and allowed me to complete some sections of my current project that I was having problems with. The API section concentrates on using the JSON API but also covers RESTful views using a serializer plugin to output data. They cover outputting entities in JSON or XML.I highly recommend this book. I did see one review mention that the authors expect you to know it all. I didn't find that at all. Drupal is an advanced CMS and there is a lot to cover. The basics are readily available online, including the Drupal.org site. This book presents as a cookbook which usually only addresses specific problems and solutions however I found that this book would allow you to start as a beginner and end up as a pro. If this was the only book I had and I was starting Drupal from scratch, I would be confident of my success. If you liked Drupal 10 module development (also an excellent resource). you will enjoy this book as well.

I read and tried all examples in this book and implemented them in my current work as a developer. It not only helped with my productivity but also mentored others. I wish I had this book in my hands a few years ago when I was struggling to learn Drupal development as a junior developer. It would definitely speed up the process.

had the Drupal 6/7 version of this book when I started out so many (few?) years ago. There is a lot of information for site builders just getting started and it ramps up from there. It covers a lot of concepts and APIs that I've learned the hard way. I like that there's a section on testing and explains hot to work with the JSON API. As a lot of Drupal devs know, it can be a lot of trial, error, rage, grief, acceptance and finally figuring it out. This book removes a lot of the guess work and can alleviate some headaches.

Like any other technical work, i wish it was more verbose when it got to the harder concepts. but that is just me. it can only be so big and it chose to help the reader with the more basic stuff to get them going and allow the advanced user to dig deeper with minimal hand holding.every drupal shop should have a copy of this. very nice present to any drupal developer.Thank you
