Black Box Full of Drupal

Presenter(s): 
Leslie Grove, University of Georgia Law School
Jason Tubinis, University of Georgia Law School

Most beginner discussions of Drupal start with the premise that you're building a Drupal site from scratch. But what if you're not the one building it? What if you suddenly find yourself in an environment that already has a Drupal site, and now you're responsible for maintaining it? In 2009 the University of Georgia School of Law launched a new Drupal site designed by an outside vendor. In this session we will share tips and tricks for IT professionals who find themselves in any similar situations.

Topics include:
Where do you start? Where is everything? Help?!
A brief overview of Drupal structure
Basic concepts: users, nodes, and themes
Essential Modules (i.e. Views and CCK)
Translating your existing knowledge of HTML and CSS into content management success
