I met Maria at OSCON this year, and she is hilarious, friendly, awesome, and possibly an even bigger geek than I am (I know, right I didn't think it was possible either! ;)). Her site highlights women geeks who are kicking ass, new technology trends, and all the crazy stuff she is doing. Might be of interest to some of the Drupalchix out there.

What was missing at that time was a developer book for Drupal. By writing the first version of this book, John and Matt made an incredible contribution to Drupal's steady growth. The book cracked the Amazon Top 100 and was one of my personal highlights of 2007. More than 10,000 copies were sold! It still blows my mind to think that one book has given the world more than 10,000 new or greatly...http://buytaert.net/pro-drupal-development-book-drupal6 Geekspace for Women: Geek of the Week: Drupal Developer Angela Byron- September 17, 2008 Drupal is an open source content management platform that&8217;s way sexier than that description reads.

I found a website whose internet marketing indicates that she teaches people how to use HTML. Her goal is to teach people how to use HTML because HTML is so important for the average person to know. Her site says, I get so frustrated when I read about some software package that claims you don&8217;t have to learn HTML.&160; HTML is the foundation of website building.&160; The more you understand the basics, the more...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MasterTheBusiness/~3/394819443/ Top Notch Themes: 7 reasons why Ubercart is the right choice for Drupal e-commerce- September 17, 2008 We had to make a tough decision early this year &8212; which Drupal e-commerce package was right for us There are currently two full e-commerce solutions for Drupal, eCommerce and Ubercart.

Got Drupal: How To: Finding & Testing Out New Modules- September 16, 2008 Drupal changes so fast that it&8217;s hard to keep your head above water. Only now, are many site maintainers deciding to upgrade to version 6.
