Before you start

I am new to drupal and have spent a couple of weeks exploring. I have installed Net beans and the drupal libraries but... I am having trouble organizing the different types of function calls in my head. I have visited api.drupal.org but I was not able to see the big picture.

Does anyone know a good place to start?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!
I am supper new to this stuff and I am slow!
I bought a domain from Go Daddy, added Drupal because friends were using it and I am lost. I downloaded an appearance theme, but I don't know how to upload it to my site. Go Daddy is useless.
Where do I upload it? Shouldn't there be an FTP client on the Drupal 7 site I bought through Go Daddy?

Thanks

Hello.
I am very new at Drupal. I am going to use Drupal at my work (version 7), where my work function is helping the other editors (super editor). I am not a programmer, know a little html but do not know PHP. I would like to try to use the program to build a private test web and doing so get to know program better. To do so, I need a host, where I can get help to install a standard version (perhaps prebuild) and get a lot off support. Can anyone recommend a Drupal hosting companies for dummies and give me some advices about how to get started?

Hello there! So I have known about Drupal for a while now, used it for an old website that I never really got off the ground. I am coming back to you to see if you gals and guys can point me in a good direction concerning the needs of a really cool non-profit that I'm trying to help out.

The Non-profits name is the FREE-Collaborative and it's mission is to connect anti-trafficking organizations together along with connecting volunteers to these organizations and create synergy in the fight against human trafficking.

The desire right now is to create two databases.

another drupal dev and i were pondering over the pros and cons of which instance to fire up in AWS for drupal sites ... centos or ubuntu? was wondering what the community thought here? should i just pick the OS i am more familiar with?
