Quickstart Introduction to Drupal Course (Online)
Building on the success of our classroom-based training in Los Angeles, California (US), this online course will gently introduce you to Drupal as we build a neighborhood association website. The course is presented in a series of modules that will introduce a concept, and then implement the concept in Drupal. This course is intended for individuals who have basic familiarity with building a web page or blogging; no programming experience or experience with Drupal is assumed or necessary.

Chat Module
Hi Guys,
Can anyone recommend me a good chat solution for Drupal 6. I am trying to evaluate different solutions like DimDim, 123FlashChat Server, avchat(avchat.com)..
Has anyone used any of these solutions.. Will U recommend any?
I will be using this for a Learning Management solution. I would like to host online presentations, do whiteboarding, have the ability to control the time the chat sessions are on; All chat sessions will need to be stored and indexed for later retrieval. I will be using the apache solr module. That part seems to work fine.

Content Discovery
Is there a module that achieves personalized recommendations of community content from a users tags against all other users content tags?
So if user A tags a community node with 'drinks', 'entertainment', and 'bar' the resulting recommendation block would push similar tagged content to user A.
I've been reviewing the following modules but still confused

Noobies Discussion
I'm sort of familiar with Drupal but haven't had too much experience. I wanted to start this discussion to ask basic/beginner questions.
A question I'm wondering about right now is the out-of-the-box speed of Drupal. I've installed 4, 5, and 6 (not all at once) and they seem to be slow, right out of the box, with no content or any modules. Why is this? Is it a Drupal problem or is my server not optimizing PHP, or something else?
Has anyone else experienced this?
What are your beginner questions?
