So I was recently put in charge of the Admin for our company's website, built with Drupal. The Admin seems quite complicated to me. I want to get some training. I am in New York City. I did some research and found several training schools, and I am hoping someone could recommend one? I am looking at: 6 Mile Tech, Acquia, Blink Reaction, BuildAModule, Droplabs, DrupalEasy, Exaltation of Larks, Isovera, LearnComputer, and Lullabot. Cost is not a concern, I just don't want to be overwhelmed. I am hoping to find a training that is good with beginners. Any recommendations?

Hey Drupal Community,

I am currently a college student studying Computer Science. I am very interested in getting involved with Drupal, but I have no idea how or what I need to know before I can contribute. I have a basic knowledge of HTML and I'm just starting to learn Javascript. I don't know any PHP but I definitely would like to learn. I guess I'm asking if anyone knows of any resources that I could take advantage of. If anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be a tremendous help. Thanks!

what is the difference between drupal 7 and 6

In my module's hook_menu(), I got this code:

$items['somepath'] = array(
    'title' => 'Some title',
    'page callback' => 'mymodule_page',
    'access callback' => TRUE,
    'file' => 'mymodule.page.inc',
    'menu_name' => 'main-menu',
    'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
    'plid' => 0,
    'weight' => 5
);

Notice that access callback is TRUE.

I'm a Graphic Designer for a small publication and I have been working on our website for about eight months. I have been doing just backend module things as well as maintenance. I am really interested in learning more of the "Design" parts of Drupal, such as how to go about designing a theme for Drupal. I've looked on Google for some resources but I figured it would be even better to reach out to the Drupal community.

If anyone knows of any resources, whether it be book or on the web, on designing for Drupal please share with me.

Thanks in advance!
