DESCRIPTION

Introduction to the Drupal Open Source Content Managememt System 2/23/2013 Introduction to the Drupal open-source, content management system using a live demo in which we will demonstrate the basics of building out a Drupal web site. Are you new to Drupal, but don't know where to start? This session is for you! In 45 minutes (or less), we will install Drupal 7, build a functioning web site and deploy it live to the Internet. You will leave this session with an understanding of the foundations of Drupal site architecture. Mr. Hoffman , AKA “The Engineer That Can Talk,” helps organizations select, develop and deploy the right technology, at the right time to deliver business solutions with measureable ROI. He has deep and direct experience in web design, marketing communications, technical documentation, product marketing, project management and training. This breadth and depth of practical experience – from on-site, hands-on customer implementation projects to leading multi-million dollar enterprise business units – provides clients with a creative, business-minded, tech-savvy resource. In 2009 Mr. Hoffman got “Drupal Fever” and immersed himself in the open-source content management system’s technology and community. As an active member of the San Diego Drupal Users Group, Mr. Hoffman helps organizations large and small leverage the power of Drupal to build and deploy richly featured web sites in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of traditional web development practices.
