Drupal is an easytouse open source content management framework that allows you to build a website rapidly. Drupal is flexible and extensible and provides a large variety of core and contributed modules that add rich and dynamic functionality to your website. This includes the ability to add all types of content including blogs, interactive books, wikistyle pages, forums, comments, images, attached files (including documents and PDFs), slideshow galleries, polls, and surveys. This VTC course by Drupal expert, Trevor James, starts from a beginner level and uses practical examples to build a Drupal powered website. The course is for anyone interested in learning about open source software. You don't have to know any code or have any experience with HTML or website development. Some intermediate and advanced topics will be covered, including using the Views module and writing your own custom modules and themes. To get started now, simply click on the movie links.
