Yesterday, I received the long awaited Drupal 6 Themes by Ric Shreves in the mail. I started reading the book and then it dawned on me that it would be a good idea for me to summarize each chapter on my blog so it will help me synthesize my findings before I write a final book review. I’m going to call this exercise WAR (Write As I Read). I am paying homage to Packt Publishing’s “RAW” concept (Read As We Write).

I am going to treat this blog post as a table of contents, so I will update this page with a hyperlink for each chapter that I review:

Chapter 1: The Elements of a Drupal Theme

Chapter 2: Theme Setup & Configuration

Chapter 3: Working With Theme Engines

Chapter 4: Identifying Templates, Style Sheets and Themable Functions

Chapter 5: Intercepts & Overrides

Chapter 6: Modifying an Existing Theme

Chapter 7: Building a New Theme

Chapter 8: Dynamic Theming

Chapter 9: Dealing with Forms

Appendix A: A Guide to Drupal Style Sheets

Appendix B: The Themers’ Toolkit
