Introduction to Drupal

NOTE: There was no official session today. Heather is experiencing some issue in Ireland that prohibited her from joining us today.

So here's what we'll do!
Please check out this video from the Acquia Webinar series featuring Josh Brauer.

Also check out  http://drupaldojo.com/session/deploy-module-and-future-staging-and-deployment-drupal for a rather nice presentation on the same topic by the author of the DEPLOY Module.

In my brief webcast today I mentioned that there are MANY places to go to find some quality presentations hitting a variety of Drupal topics.
Here's a short list:

• goto http://groups.drupal.org/events and look for PAST DRUPALCAMPS and sometimes even MEETUPS. Often times these are recorded for later viewing. Find a camp and find it's website then look for videos
• also simply google "drupalcamp videos" http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=drupalcamp+videos
• I especially like the videos from DrupalCampLA at http://2010.drupalcampla.com and http://2019.drupalcampla.com
• http://drupaldojo.com has a growing number of quality videos!
• ALSO: Be sure to check out http://Drupal.org/planet to see quality blogs and tutorials; many of which include videos.

Also. 

WenEnabled has a very nice SVN functionality built in that I use to promote code from stage to production. [With out much effort you can also promote site configurations from one site to another via SVN. The FEATUREs module allows this]
http://www.webenabled.com/how-it-works/version-control has some information on WebEnabled SVN setup and I'm working on finding some more. I'll ad to this thread as I have more info.

See you next week!
