![]() Stop developing with Drupal, start to use it. So, to summarize, Drupal sucks, Drupal is poorly written, not object oriented, but it is there, tried and tested and waiting for you to use it. Of course, writing any code requires testing and bug fixing.Įven if you can write required code quite quickly, you DO NOT know how much time you are going to spend testing and bug fixing.įrom my experience, you always spend much more time on analyzing, design, testing and bug fixing than writing code itself. So instead of writing code, you actually spend time on configuring Drupal. You have nodes but you can create your own content types like invoices, order forms, etc. One thing which made me decide to play with Drupal for some more time is: I don't have to write any code.Įverything that I want is there! All I have to do is to learn it! Drupal is written in quite a general way. It was painful, I even wanted to give up the project and move to some more "serious" job with Java or C#. īut to be honest, I love object oriented programming and have a real dilemma when I have to give away my object oriented thinking and deal with Drupal 7. You can find a must-read article about it at. Some people argue whether Drupal complies to some object oriented standards. Writing a good procedural code is a much harder job than writing good object oriented code. I used to spend hours with objects and simply can't think in any different ways now. To deal with successful Drupal projects we definitely need broad thinkers who are also able to understand and sometimes write a couple of lines of code.Īnother thing which can irritate you in Drupal 7 is its procedural oriented architecture with a bit of OOP.
