Drupal is a free and open-source CMS (Content Management System),
used by millions of people and organizations around the world, to build and maintain their websites.
It is known for its powerfulness, flexibility and scalability, and hence is preferred by some of the top business and government organizations, including the Government of Australia, Red Cross, Harvard, The Economist, BBC, NBC News, Whole Foods, Cisco, Twitter, and many, many more.
With the huge acceptance that Drupal has in such high profile projects, it is now a big career choice for many.
And with the lack of Drupal developers in the market, people who know Drupal are much in demand.
And the best way to learn Drupal, is from the people that help build it.
