Hi,
I have an existing static website running off a VPS with html, JavaScript and Rebol. So the entire website is html developed.
I am considering migrating to a CMS because I percept I can benefit of an easier and more flexible web development considering that I need to involve several editors in this webpage and they could benefit of existing back-end engine that would allow them to develop without the need to type codes or scirpts.

I wish to ask the following questions with the aim not to receive references/manulas to read (examples yes) but just an honest answer becasue I am in the stage of discernmente and need few simple answers from those who are quite expert with Drupal and CMS.

1) how difficult and how much time would involve learning the basics of Drupal for setting up a website considering that there is existing web programming knowledge (not CMS knowledge)?
2) is it possible to preserve entirely the layout and structure of an existing static webpage and how hard is it? Also, does Drupal have some tools that would help creating the template/layout of the site?

Hi,
I've just started using drupal. Actually 6 or 7 years ago I came across drupal but it seemed hard to use so I was writing my own php code to do things.

Now it seems everyone is going in this direction and I installed drupal but don't want to add contents from the control panel. I want to use my own contents that are in the same database but in a separate table.

Given the Steep Learning Curve for Drupal, the quantity of people that try to accomplish the same task and go about it differently...

Why isn't there a drupal certification, a minimum standard that people need to pass to proof out their skills?
