General discussion

Hey everyone, I'm looking for pointers on modules. Specifically, I want to create a portfolio site and a blog. What are some modules that I am going to want? Any advice is appreciated : )

Thank you for reading my post!

I am a designer with strong preferences for simple, beautiful, uncluttered websites.
With the rise (or is it standard?) of CMS, most of my clients get design done by a web-solutions company, then ask me to re-design it (look-wise) to the template they made.

I'm fine with this, I can take any pre-designed template and add my design touches to it, no problem.
However, there are obvious limitations to this, as well as my clients can barely use the CMS anyway!
I end up using their CMS logins to make changes for them!

In light of this, I though hey! Maybe I could build a simple solid CMS template (design-wise) and customise it with modules depending on what the client wants.

I looked in to it, and found Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress (and others) all sell the idea its simple and easy to get a site up and running.
I would disagree! Not that I'm totally technically illiterate, but it does my head in!

I tried a real simple site idea to start and found I couldn't even change a simple template without learning all the in-depth structure that Joomla/wordpress provides. What's more the documentation is mostly written from a developers point of view with 'the power' of various codings and terms I have no idea the meaning of! (I know, I'm probably more technically illiterate that I know!)

Can HTML5 canvas be linked with drupal checkout?

I want a custom design tool that has different elements on the HTML5 canvas. Depending on how many elements and the size I want to the price to change before adding to shopping cart in drupal.

Is this possible??

Hi everyone!

I'm new to drupal and have some questions:

1. What is the best material for a developer?
2. What is the difference between drupal 7.15 and drupal 7.x-dev? So what is the version for a developer?

Cheers!

Question to you, who are familiar with JAVA world:

Is there, written in the Java, something similar to the Drupal?
(I mean: at least "distantly similar" ;-) )

I mean something, what woud be universal and modular in the being framework/CMS.
Ideally something as usefull and effective, as AEGIR + DRUPAL
(concretelly it would be needed as the platform/technology for making bigger and also smaller websites for clients ;-) )

Thank you very for your kind help and opinion
