Drupal was born in 2000 and is a development CMF (content management framework) written in PHP language for development. Drupal's strong customized development capabilities have also made it the preferred development platform for many construction companies with technical strength.

Any ** construction company self-developed system, technically can not reach the level of drupal, this is the advantage of open source software: phpchina, as the Chinese official of PHP, is also the largest open source community in China; Of course, there are many topics about Drupal's technical discussions, but unfortunately there is no systematic introduction and explanation of Drupal. With the advent of the book "Drupal Master Website Building Technical Manual", Mikuno has filled a gap in Drupal technology in China, provided strong technical support for the majority of PHP enthusiasts and companies, and also played a cornerstone role in the better promotion of Drupal in China.

Because Drupal has a URL that is easy for search engines to include, provides a powerful personalized ring containing a fierce environment, provides a role-based permission system, provides an on-site search system that can index and search all the content on the site, a template system separates content from performance, provides built-in news aggregation tools, a strong multi-language support system and other advantages, so many famous foreign ** institutions (United Nations, White House), commercial companies (Warner Bros., FedEx), Universities (Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and technology communities (Ubuntu, Fedora, Firefox) are all built using Drupal. Therefore, we also hope that through the book "Drupal Master Website Building Technical Manual", Drupal can be truly recognized by domestic enterprises and PHP technicians, so that it can bloom more brilliantly in the field of open source!
