Reading Flash with Drupal (Free Download: Chapter 10 on User Management)

I started to revive urlgreyhot for occasional blogging. I've discovered in the past few months that although I primarily have posts to share on UX, there is still the occasional post that is of topic for Konigi, so I'm now posting again here to discuss working with Drupal once again.

I started reading Travis Tidwell's Flash with Drupal book this month to learn what I can about delivering content from Drupal Views into Flash and will post a short summary in a few days. Packt makes the introduction and Chapter 10 on User Management available as a free download for anyone who wants a taste. What I've been most interested in the past are really modest solutions to things, e.g. creating interactive blocks or widgets of content that I can put in a sidebar. But, my skimming of the book has also gotten me interested in how to deliver more complete Flash widgets in larger portions of the page, e.g. creating dynamically rendered visualizations of content using stats from views and ratings.

Will be posting more as I make it through.
