DrupalCampWIJuly 23rd and 24th, 2010, Madison, WI

There is a "thing" about Drupal that makes it hard for beginners to get started, yet at the same time provides much of the platform's flexibility and power. It's also a "thing" that is easy for seasoned developers to forget after awhile.

This session will broadly cover site organization using content types, taxonomy, and views. We will cover strategies for planning a site and how you might "translate" needs into a structure in Drupal. If time is available, we will build a simple site using these modules and talk about how to search for additional modules when what's there doesn't fit the plan.

This session is for people who starting their first Drupal site, or for anyone who is considering Drupal for a project.
