Understanding Drupal
Filed Under:
The Details
Understanding Drupal is the first video in The Lullabot Learning Series. This video provides an overview of Drupal as a content management system, as a PHP web application framework, and as a developer community. Its documentary-style exploration covers all the terminology and fundamental concepts for both site administrators and developers. If you've ever been confused by Drupal or are still trying to wrap your head around the community and platform, this video is intended as a roadmap to accelerate your journey up the Drupal learning curve.
Lullabots Addison Berry (add1sun), Angela Byron (webchick), Jeff Eaton (eaton), Nathan Haug (quicksketch), Jeff Robbins (jjeff), James Walker (walkah), and Matt Westgate (matt westgate) sit down to tell us about Drupal in this video directed and edited by Kent Bye (kentbye). A portion of the profits from this video will be donated directly to the Drupal Association.

Cut down free version?
I'd be interested to know if there's a cut down version of this video available for free, or if there's another highly recommended free video giving an overview of these aspects of Drupal. The few times I've looked at this CMS (or read about it on Drupal.org etc.) I've come away thinking that it looks interesting, but is not worth the steep learning curve when I already know (and regularly use) Joomla 1.5. I'd like to be proved wrong, since I think it's an advantage to know several different systems for different situations.
Does anyone know of a good free overview of Drupal / framework / etc. - in video form or not? One that cuts through the buzz words and shows the real character and strengths of Drupal?
Thanks,
Alan
