My Review of "Cracking Drupal" by Greg Knaddison

drupal, Drupal security XSS

Eric :

With included code examples and some real world cases, the book presents a good foundation to build from.

While looking around for how to run multiple IE browsers, I found a new solution and wanted to share it. Running a virtual machine of windows is nothing new really. But I discovered something that made it a little less of a hurdle, and Microsoft is responsible and it's pretty cool.
