I’ve been playing with Drupal recently and I’ve put together some links to help anyone interested in learning.

Drupal learning curve.

• Drupal Learning Curve
• The basics and terminology
• The beginners cookbook
• A free chapter on Theming from “Pro Drupal Development” book
• Drupal Documentation on Theming
• Drupal Forum – Theming
• Quite a few interesting screencasts (with weird voice)
• A couple of very good screencasts
• 45 Kickass Screencasts
• Drupal Dojo – quite a few screencasts

Zend Framework is still my preferred custom framework but Drupal has impressed me with the way it’s put together. It’s very scalable and powerful – you can put together a full community site in about 30 minutes without writing any PHP. That’s rapid development. The community is active and there are a ton of modules. I am sure I will learn new things about it as I go along but for now I recommend checking it out!
