The Path to Drupal - equating extensibility with success
Tue, 08/18/2009 - 18:43 — Robert Douglass
Some time ago I wrote an article that looks deeply at the Drupal path system and shows how easy it is for new developers to hook into a running Drupal system. I explore the idea that this openness and extensibility is a key factor in winning large numbers of developers to work on Drupal, and that this is one of the reasons the project is succeeding. The paper is now available at Acquia, beautifully formatted as a technical whitepaper. I’m very happy with this article and am excited to finally have it available. It’s well worth the short survey you’ll be asked to complete before you can download.

Wow, now that is a nice
Wow, now that is a nice article. Great introduction to the menu system. I'll definitely refer people to that paper.
nitpick:
<?php// Create an outrageous message template. Based on a quote by Károly Négyesi.
$message = 'A %animal is a %noun with four paws on the end.';
// Replace the %animal and %noun placeholders with the $animal and $noun
// arguments.
// The t() wrapper not only allows localization, it performs the
// placeholder replacement.
// t() also guarantees that $animal and $noun are plain text, thus
// protecting against XSS attacks.
$message = t($message, array('%animal' => $animal, '%noun' => $noun));
?>
Umm.. this will not allow localization. Variables in t() is no good. Should be t('A %animal ..', array(...)).
Yes, that's correct.
I should see about getting that updated.
