Learn Drupal 7

Johan Falk presents, Learn Drupal 7.

It is powerful, flexible, inspirational – and fun. However, it may also be difficult to know where to start. Drupal is big and complex, and if you don’t know the basics you may get stuck on the silliest things. Don’t get stuck! Watch this learning series and get a solid start on your Drupal journey.

The series could be divided into three parts:
1. Editorial skills. Episodes 1, 2 and 3 covers content handling – how to create and edit content, and find your way around content management in Drupal core.

2. Site administrator skills. Episodes 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are of use for people with some administration tasks on the site – they show how to manage users and permissions, handle menus, place blocks on your site and make them show on the right occations, and a few more things.

3. Site builder skills. Episodes 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 are useful only for people working with developing Drupal sites. The main focus is on fields – including image and taxonomy handling – but there are also some words on text formats and things like clearing cache and running cron.

Tutorials



Great starting point

I'd also like to recommend Johan's book Drupal 7: The Essentials, which although I haven't finished yet, is so far written in a concise, informative manner with a ton (from looking at the contents) of information.

another set of good short videos

These were useful short videos introducing some of the main parts of Drupal. Again, I really enjoyed the bite size chunks of information keeping most videos in the 10 minute range (plus or minus a few minutes).
