More Great Drupal Resources For Beginners

Submitted by Brandon on Wed, 05/20/2009 - 10:10

We're discovering useful new Drupal resources every day. My last post highlighted a few websites that offer great tutorials on a variety of Drupal topics; however, I forgot to mention one of my favorites. Bob, over at Mustardseed Media, does great work. His videos are succinct and have top notch production values. I found his podcasts on Imagefield and Imagecache & Building A Video Gallery to be very helpful.

In addition to video tutorials and podcasts, there are several books we have read that have helped us get through the Drupal learning curve. Some of our favorites are listed below.

Using Drupal
This is the first book I know of to feature a dormouse on the cover. It is written by the Lullabot team. Enough said.

Front End Drupal: Designing, Theming, Scripting (Developer's Library)
Great work by Emma Hogbin and Konstantin Kafer. This book really helped me understand all of the moving parts that make up a Drupal theme.

Drupal 6 Themes
Create new themes for your Drupal 6 site with clean layout and powerful CSS styling. Another good resource for understanding themes and layout.

Drupal 6 Social Networking
A good intro. I'm hoping for a sequel that expands on some of their ideas.

Leveraging Drupal: Getting Your Site Done Right
There are a few copies of this floating around the office. I'm patiently awaiting my turn, but I've heard it's good.

An Abercrombie And Fitch

Submitted by CYJisGod on Fri, 03/12/2010 - 21:40.

An Abercrombie And Fitch employee in northern California is alleging she was fired for refusing to remove her hijab, or headscarf marking her Muslim observance. Abercrombie pursuit of a homogeneous army of "perfect" employees appears to have snared it again!

Abercrombie Clothing to the AP, "the Council on Abercrombie UK Relations said Wednesday it filed an Equal Abercrombie London Opportunity Commission complaint on behalf of Hani Khan." Abercrombie Fitch says she was told she would be allowed to wear a Abercrombie Outlet, but a visiting district manager disputed that. She says she was fired when she refused to take it off.

In 2008, an Abercrombie And Fitch accused Abercrombie of refusing to hire her because her head scarf "didn't fit the chain's image." That lawsuit, filed last year, is still in progress.

Abercrombie in the company's serious on-the-ground sensitivity issues: Abercrombie Clothing to let a woman help her autistic sister try on Abercrombie UK, for which they were fined $115,264, and banishing an employee with a prosthetic arm from the store floor. That employee, Riam Dean, was awarded ￡8,000 for unlawful harassment, although the tribunal ruled that she hadn't suffered disability discrimination.

Abercrombie London has a well-documented mission of selling its idea of youthful physical perfection, Abercrombie Fitch the Bruce Weber ad campaigns to the employees that fit its ideal of American beauty. The company conceded that that ideal didn't include black, Abercrombie Outlet, and Asian employees in 2004 when it paid $40 million to employees and job applicants of those demographics to settle a class-action federal discrimination lawsuit. They had been accused of "engaging in recruiting and hiring practices that exclude minorities and adopting a virtually all-white marketing campaign."
