Hello Everyone

I am brand new to web development and I want to make a personal site and a Community/Educational site. I am a budding game developer and I am currently doing a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Games Development.

For my personal website

I want to make a website where I can post my work. Basically I want to use the website as my portfolio.

The the most important pages I require in this website are:
1) A Gallery where I can post screenshots of my games. (Admin Only)
2) A showcase page where I can upload my games and allow authenticated users to download and test them.
3) A page where I can embed Youtube videos.

Do I need to use Drupal for this website or will I be better served using something easier like Wordpress. If I use Drupal what modules should I use to make this website. Also what themes should I be looking at for this website. Should I use Zen or Fusion.

For my Community/Educational site

This website will be a general gaming community website. This will be designed by my friends and me. We will also use this website to post tutorials on game development. We will also be using this website for telling people about the gaming events that we organize.

For this website I require:
1) A forum for people to hang out and chat about computer games.
2) A page where we can embed videos(Tutorials on game development).

I'm interested in building a jquery mobile app for a small side project. The way the framework is built, its really best if you have total control of the markup, so rolling it into a drupal theme would be challenging. Not impossible, of course, but challenging.

While tinkering with my installation, I thought about maybe having Drupal act as merely a "back office" for the app. jQuery Mobile would do all the heavily layout and content display work while making JSON calls available through the Services and JSON_server modules. I'd probably lay it out like this:

/www
  index.html
  (other jquery mobile assets)
  /drupal

Has anyone done anything like this before? Other questions I have:

• Performance. If I do all the right things to optimize Drupal (memcache, maybe solr, etc), will I be fine if the users are hitting just a few html pages that ping back to the server every once in a while?
• Retrieving nodes. Json's Node.get() allows me to get ONE node, but I'll likely want to get a few for the sake of lists, etc. Is this a custom module I'm writing here?
• "Gotchas" with pinging into Drupal from outside of drupal? They'd both live on the same domain so I shouldn't run into cross-domain issues.

Hey all,

I'm a web designer/developer who's been tasked with creating a new members-only site for my employer. We're looking into CMS options, and I'm wondering if Drupal might be the right system for this project.

Here's the requirements:

• User profiles with custom data fields
• Calendar of Events
• File Uploads (admin only) that can be tagged and linked to other uploads
• Search (this will be a core UI feature)
• Star ratings and user comments on Content

Hey,

Sorry if this question is in the wrong place.
I'm interested in starting drupal and would like to know if jQuery is required for the final front end of site, more specifically does drupal add jQuery to your rendered public page?
Personally I dont like jQuery but have no problem with it being part of the backend system, however I do not want jQuery for any site functionality as I prefer MooTools NB: I also dont want to run two frameworks at once on the front end.
