Drupal is an open source social publishing platform that allows an individual, a community of users, or an enterprise to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content on a website.
Drupal powers some of the biggest and most important sites on the web, as well as thousands of small business and individual sites. If you have a general idea of how content management systems work, but little to no Drupal experience, this course will get you off to the right start.
