Moving from static design to Drupal

This session is aimed at people who come from a traditional web design background and are most comfortable writing their own HTML, CSS (maybe JavaScript) but would like to get into Drupal. If you have never worked with a content management system before, Drupal can seem daunting. In this session I hope to familiarize you with the big concepts of Drupal and make the transition easier.

My core message: if you only know HTML and CSS, don't know a word of PHP, and have never used a content management system in your life, you CAN learn Drupal.

This talk centers around the decision points and lessons learned from the infrastructure side of the house when a 30,000-person university standardizes upon an open-source content management system to host a rainbow of web content for various flavors of students, faculty, and staff.
