Drupalcon notes: Getting Started with Drupal(con)

Apr 19 2010

Overall introduction. What drupal is, who's using it. Extensibility, roles
Drupal as a community
Drupal jargon: nodes, CCK = 'fields' in D7, Views, themes, menus, taxonomy, menus, permissions, roles, hooks, cron, druplipet
How does drupal work? Description of the stack, starting with OS -> web server -> PHP/database -> Drupal -> core subsystem -> cor modules -> contrib modules -> theme system -> HTML -> CSS/Javascript
Discussion of CCK and taxonomy
Reusable content: do less and accomplish more. Reduce workload, reuse content, recycle your ideas in new places and different ways
RDFa is part of drupal 7
Core and contrib modules are available to enhance SEO
I19N
AMP stack = Apache / MySQL / PHP
DAMP stack = that + drupal
