Packt: Creating Our First Module using Drupal 6 (Part1)

Packt has published an article of mine on beginning Drupal 6 module development. In the article, I cover the process of writing a first module (it's based on Chapter 2 of Learning Drupal 6 Module Development). Here's the intro from the article:

Creating Our First Module using Drupal 6 (Part1)

In this two-part article series by Matt Butcher, we will create our first Drupal module. This article assumes basic knowledge of Drupal module development. Our first module will make use of an existing web service to pull in some XML data, format it, and display it as a block in the site's layout.

We will cover the following topics in this article:

• Creating the .info and .module files
• Creating a new module
• Using basic hooks
• Installing and configuring the module
• Using important Drupal functions
