Hello all,
I'm a new user of Drupal and, probably like everyone else, I have a big idea. But first I need to know how to use Drupal better.
I bought the "Dummies Drupal" book and it was o.k. I'm currently reading the "Front End Drupal: Designing, Theming, Scripting" book by Emma Jane Hogbin and Konstantin Kafer.
Though I like books, they can be either too slow or too hard core.
Do you all get toghter at times? Chatting with someone and seeing something done on a computer in front of me helps more than just stumbling about.
Thanks for your help.
-Daniel

There's a Cincinnati Drupal
There's a Cincinnati Drupal Meetup group, though I've never been. I'm a new Drupal user, too, and I also just starting reading Front End Drupal. A book discussion or note-comparing session might be good, though - to be honest - I'm not sure if I'd have time to come to it.
Sometimes you have to stumble about
Before you learn how to Drupal... But if you have Q's that need an answer, you can hit up forums, #drupal-support irc chan and come to the meetups. I've been developing w Drupal for about 4.25 years and I have found that stumbling about (jumping right in a getting your feet wet) is usually helpful. You may not find out what you wanted to but you will learn something most likely.
Cheers, Derek
