Before you start

My web is using HTML, At the moment I am researching Drupal to make the decision to convert. I hope Web Drupal admins join me as a full member to get better Drupal research.

Hi,

I am freshly new on the forum and I started researching Drupal a few days ago.

I want to learn how to develop custom themes for Drupal, and I already have a static project with all of the markup, styles, scripts and dummy content which I would like to integrate with Drupal.

I managed to figure out a couple of things about how to set up a theme, add content types and fields, what are blocks / modes / views and things like that....

What I am trying to do at the moment is this:

I want to build a website to help site visitors access service providers. On the site there will be a drop down list where cities we currently offer sevices can be chosen and once someone picks a city he will be shown the services available in that city and once he picks a service he will be presented with the profiles of our registered service providers covering his chosen area. He will then choose a service provider and proceed to fill our Order form asking us to send the service provider to his place.

If you are new to Drupal, and you have wisely decided to use Drupal 8 (D8) instead of Drupal 7 (D7), and if you are trying to find a clear step-by-step guide here at drupal.org (d.o) to achieve exactly what you want to do, (first of all, "Good luck,") please be aware that Drupal 8 documentation is divided into two distinct sections.

Two separate Drupal 8 documentation sections:

Madam / Sir,

we are a church community which extends over eight villages which are scattered over quite an area. Therefore it was decided to use the internet to coordinate the "worldy" community tasks. As CMS which is able to assist such an undertaking I suggested Drupal (what else?), so the other people of our community asked me to set up a respective website.

I am trying to write a chrome extension and have been reviewing what type of technology I could use. This app is really a plain vanilla app that just needs to log user initiated events to a mySQL database. The user will need to login in securely, however. My understanding is that I can use JavaScript and jquery in the html page which gets loaded directly from a local installation at each users pc.
