  2. after watched the video, i’m even confused.

    Can you just SAVE those non-sense words, e.g. flexible, powerful, configurable, please i’ve seen these words just too many times, that’s sound too Microsoft and even worse.

  3. @rjdennin One thing is the license, and other is if the source is free or not.
    GNU GPL is the best license, i think, at least for me.
    And Open Source means you can download it, and use it, and if you want, you can modificate it.
    So, what’s the point in your “correction”?

  4. @rarepattern thank you (: i’m watching this at the moment thou /watch?v=sfrfuCLH9sg , don’t get me wrong i’m not just trying to criticize. i feel your video was well done but it really didn’t cover anything much, but then again 57 seconds can’t really.

  5. @Mixikyr If it’s information you want, here’s a 1-hour video touring Drupal 7 features. Free for the next few days, apparently drupalize.me/videos/overview-drupal-7

  6. Hi,
    Would you be able to tell me a website where I can take a test for Drupal/ PHP for free to get a score?
    Thanks in advance,
    Varun

  7. @light24bulbs Drupal is open source. And yes, we love it and find it very useful in our work! Should only people who don’t use it talk about it?

    There is a difference between end-users and engineers. It takes an engineer to BUILD your car– auto or manual. If that engineer doesn’t know much… well, I guess you get a 1950s Skoda, and not a 1990s Honda.

    Now, what you’re doing is comparing the back-end, engineer’s experience of Drupal, to the front-end, end-user’s experience of WordPress. That’s just silly, wrong, and misleading… it’s not comparing an apple to an orange, it’s comparing an apple to a hamster.

    If you want a career where you don’t have to remember anything, structural engineering is not for you. If you want a career where you can build things, however…
    Drupal is *easy* to maintain if you have half a brain and reasonable LAMP experience. The modules are free, and gosh-darn-it, unlike WordPress, all in one place where issues are tracked and *corrected*. “Cool templates?” Uh, what you’re saying here is, “if you’re a freeloader, Drupal is not for you, right?”

  11. @rudiedirkx I agree, this was nothing more than a video saying the power to connect. Which is a catch phrase every company likes to use. Drupal is also “what you need it to be”. So what is drupal…it’s a framework with an open source community and thousands of modules. String together a few more cool catch phrases… I’m still as clueless as I was 57 seconds ago. Examples of a range of Drupal modules 5-10 seconds a piece would probably get the point across a lot better.
