noobie help drupal 6 7

Hi

I have been aware that there was a thing called drupal for several years, but only last week did I decide to dig in and try to learn it. I have a comp sci degree from a long time ago, and have some experience developing in C, awk, shell, etc.

I also have some ability to develop websites on a LAMP (actually MAMP) stack with HTML, CSS, php, and MySQL. I have deployed a couple such sites to a LAMP stack at godaddy. They ain't pretty, but they work.
