Drupal 7 media is very good book for learning how to use Drupal and media files. I like this book because it gives lots of good examples. I also like how it shows the actual page of the software it is talking about. Sometimes when reading it is difficult to understand how to make changes to the page. By showing the actual page that they are talking about it makes it a lot easier to understand how to make the changes the book is talking about. It also has lots of good pictures that you might use plus shows how they will look on the actual page. I would recommend this to anyone using Drupal and wondering how to work with media files.

One of the biggest challenges Drupal presents is dealing with media files. Because of the open nature of the product, there is usually a lot of time needed to make something as simple as an image gallery. I spent many hours designing one myself using different image handlers, a custom content type, views and HTML entities that presentImageediting controls.Packtpub.com has a great resource for those who are dealing with media files. I just picked it up but it looks like it is going to be a great resource for me. I specifically plan to use it for a video based help system for the website that I am currently working on.

Oguntunde Toyin Jan 07, 2014

I chose "5 stars" because the book is just wonderful for Drupal on learning multimedia. It's concise and straight forward, stating what was done and the reasons why they were done. No assumptions (i.e assuming that reader(s) must have known this or that) at all. It's detail and precept after precept. The only thing which I think the writer(s) can look into is a few "miss outs" in steps to follow which was easy for me to figure out and actually it worked out well even though I was a first timer on Drupal.I will recommend it for NEWBIES on Drupal because everything there in was detail and clear.

I've just finished the book Drupal 7 Media and I would define it like a good guide to introduce us in the world of media content, HTML5, or semantic web, from a Drupal's perspective. You can get it from [...] and is edited by Packt PublishingThe author is Liran Tal who has currently worked at HP Software with a Drupal-based platform.The first chapters talk about first steps with Drupal, explaining the Drupal's architecture and the Drupal's way of work. If you have knowledge of blocks, views, etc, you can avoid read it without fear.In the third chapter, Lian starts talking about images in Drupal, the form to install a rich text editor like wysiwyg and media module.He also explains other modules around media, like the one to build image galleries.I missed some words about media and json formats to embed image into a textarea, and also something about migrate module to import text contents, extracting img tags to media fields.Next, he talks about HTML5 and how to start using it in Drupal.In the next chapters he explains us how to use video and audio content in our sites.We'll see how easy we can incorporate youtube videos, etc.He also writes about RDFa and microdata, quite interesting this chapter to learn more about these terms that are gaining importance in the web development.Last month, I assisted to DrupalCamp Spain in Cáceres and I attended to a session ([...] on semantic web, which was presented in a module in dev state that uses Apache Stanbol, Apache Marmotta and Apache Solr with Redlink project.I really think this module was good and I guess that it will be mentioned in the future in other chapters like this.The graph has also a space in the book. The author writes about one of the modules to get graphs in Drupal and integrate it with views. In this topic there are lots of options, with more or less cost in development and other thinks. For example, use the google graph API maybe is not the best option to make an intranet with private corporative data.About responsive web design, it simply provides us a glimpse of our themes to build responsive websites.Finally we performed a review of Drupal 8 and its changes.In conclusion, the book is a good option if you are a site builder, new in world of drupal, or if you don't know how to built sites with multimedia content, microdata or html5.If you are a Drupal hero, maybe you can only catch some information about some module to build something specific.- See more at: [...]

Throughout the many years I've been working with Drupal there have been countless variations on how to add media into a Drupal website. Thankfully, Drupal is maturing its media subsystem into greatness.Drupal 7 Media gives us a glimpse into the future of that subsystem. At the time of writing this review the subsystem is still in heavy development yet it is stable enough to use it on a live site.Recently, I was faced with the huge learning curve when building a site using the new media subsystem, which is when I looked for a book to fast track myself. Successful I was thanks to this title.Drupal 7 Media is great for experienced and beginner site builders alike though I feel it's a little verbose for the former. Reading this book was far more convenient than combing through countless posts on drupal.org to find the information I needed. Saved me loads of time and frustration. Saved money for my clients too.
