Understanding Drupal DVD On Sale Now

June 30, 2008

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.

Topics include:

  • How content is entered and managed
  • How users and user permissions are handled
  • What blocks are and what they can do
  • The concepts and capabilities of Drupal’s powerful module system
  • How Drupal handles navigation and its menu system
  • How themes alter the site layout, design, and presentation
  • Site configuration and administrative messages and settings
  • This video uses Drupal 6 for examples, however it is focused on general Drupal concepts rather than version-specific how to's.

Lullabot has guided such companies as MTV, Sony BMG Records, Lifetime Television, IBM, and Fast Company in building and growing their Drupal websites. Recognized as some of the most influential and well-respected developers, consultants, and educators in the Drupal community, the team is responsible for best-selling books, workshops, and seminars about Drupal.

Lullabots Addison Berry, Angela Byron, Jeff Eaton, Nathan Haug, Jeff Robbins, James Walker, and Matt Westgate sit down to tell us all about Drupal in this video directed and edited by Kent Bye.

DVDs are shipping now and a high-resolution download version is also available. A portion of profits from this video will be donated directly to the Drupal Association.
