Mike Anello recommends his favorite 45 Drupal Modules

Mike Anello of Drupal Easy gave a presentation at DrupalCon Paris called "45 Modules in 45 Minutes: The Best Drupal Modules You're Not Using."

In this interview, Mike provides a brief overview and gives some of the highlights of some of the unsung Drupal module heros. Mike eliminated the Top 100 most downloaded Drupal modules, and focused on modules that he's found to be useful, but not already well known or popular.

Mike actively tracks the New Drupal Module RSS Feed and New Drupal Module listing and keeps an eye on modules that he thinks might be useful.

The full list of 45 modules can be seen in his presentation slides below, and linked down below.
