newbies

If you have never seen Bob and his podcasts from Mustardseed, now is your chance to and to bookmark his lessons. Granted some 'casts do not go deep down the rabbit holes but he does give great tutes to get one started.

I had been struggling to understand all the switches and what the cause and effect is with aspects of some Drupal modules. The two referenced podcasts help sort some of this out. Hope they help you as well.

Just a note to let folks know that The Austin Drupal Newbies will be kicking off their first meeting on Feburary 18th at Tech Ranch Austin.

Based on feedback from members, from polls and conversations, we will be taking a "Leisurely Boot Camp" approach to Drupal...

February 18

Here is a bunch of information to get started with if you are planning on attending the contrib sprint this weekend, and consider yourself a non-coder/beginner/newb. If you can get through prepping all of this before the sprint, you will have a head start once you get there, otherwise I will direct people to go through this info when they are getting started.

Well, if you can believe it, after all my hard work...the company I was doing this for decided to go with thier old HTML designer. Long story short, admidst me working on it, he marched back into the office on his own accord and bent the boss to his will to prove that he is better for the company because he has worked there before (unlike me). So now, I have no idea what kind of thing I can do with Drupal right now so that Im at least learning something. Any chance that there is a place online for Drupal newbs to get into a project for learning purposes?

Simon from our office attended DrupalCon DC and came back with a present for me, the Lullabot video "Understanding Drupal".
