intro to drupal

This session will orient people on how to get started with Drupal. We're going to leave some time at the end for your QUESTIONS!

We'll address a few methods for installation Drupal including using the Acquia Drupal Stack installers, then dive into some fundamentals such as:

- how does Drupal work (at a very high level)
- how do you begin to build a site.

• Get the basics out of the way. Bring your questions. Bring your Drupal projects and get help.
• What are nodes? What are some tips to navigating the admin menus? How do you change the front page?
• Selecting modules, installing modules, configuring modules.
• Depending on who needs what we could divide and conquer and get each attendee the answers they need.
• How to interact with the online Drupal community (irc, groups, forums, mail lists, etc).
