Updated Tutorials
1. Module developer’s guide by Drupal.org
A Drupal site can have three kinds of modules: core modules that ship with Drupal and are approved by the core developers and the community; contributed modules written by the Drupal community and shared under the same GNU Public License (GPL) as Drupal; and custom modules created by the developer of the website. This section of the Developing for Drupal handbook will help you to write your own modules and to collaborate with the community on shared projects.

6. Creating a Simple Drupal Module
I’m going to show you how to create a very simple Drupal 6 module that uses hook_form_alter to remove a few fields from the node edit form, but only for blog and page nodes. We’ll alter different fields for each type. This should give you a foundation for more complex custom work.
