Stephen Downes installs Drupal 5 November 23, 2006

Posted by Andy Roberts in : drupal, edublog , trackback

On his blogger blog, Stephen Downes has been writing about implementing his main website as a drupal 5 installation. It’s nowhere near finished yet, and there are already lengthy articles numbered part one to part seven. I suspect he’s writing all of this down in great detail, mainly for his own benefit in order to be able to retrace his own steps if necessary, but in so doing he is also succeeding in sharing two types of knowledge which are of great benefit to developers. There’s the hard knowledge which is contained in the links, the facts, tables and technical explanations, and also a lot of soft knowledge is imparted through the telling of the story, illustrating an approach to development which works for one individual, blogging the frustrations and breakthroughs soon after they occur.

So I’m greatly appreciating this blog series both for the handy tips and links embedded within, and as an enjoyable and beneficial overall read .

Me too. Appreciating it I mean.

And you reminded me to save the posts. I need to go back to them.
