Getting Started on Drupal

Just found an awesome 6-page reference sheet that does an excellent job of getting the average developer started on Drupal. I've not seen this promoted elsewhere, so thought I'd share:

A Hoosier in Paris

An excerpt (and fun announcement about drupalcon) from my wife's shiny new blog...

"We have stumbled upon an exciting opportunity. Josh loves Drupal. We went to Washington D.C. so he could meet other Drupalers that speak his nerd language. He liked it so much that he thought...Paris....why not? So he filled out information for a scholarship and he won!"

Wanted: One Awesome Web Developer / Designer / Jquery'er

joshmiller — Thu, 07 May 2009 12:51:38 -0700

At Haan Marketing+Communications, we are quickly converting a successful, but small, advertising shop into a new media online marketing company. This has been going so well for us, we are outgrowing our current workforce. There are so many website jobs stacked up, we don't know how to get them all done! We need to add another Drupal developer / interface designer / jquery programmer / everything'er to the mix. Could this be your shot to do Drupal sites full time?

The job posting: http://haanmc.com/careers/index.php?cid=9 (This whole site is based on that custom CMS I wrote before I knew about Drupal, so please don't judge us too harshly)

You can ask any questions via Twitter and I will respond: twitter.com/xcv

In these tough economic times, it is always good to know that our skills are still in high demand.
