Building simple Drupal sites

Submitted by Kieran on

This book is an introduction to building basic Drupal sites, using Drupal 7. It was created for my (Kieran Mathieson's) ATiB courses, but anyone can use it.

I haven't created much content from scratch. Instead, I have put together a collection of stuff other people have put together.

ATiB students will be keeping a Drupal learning journal. They'll document the things they looked at, what they tried, what worked, and what they had trouble understanding. The journals will be used to improve this book over time.

If you are an ATiB student, create an account, using your full name (e.g., "Mike Smith") as your user name. I'll give a role that will allow you to create journal entries.

Let's get started.
