So what do I do with drupal?

We'll as a consultant I build webpages mostly, but because it is drupal, this is not average brochure website stuff. I actively build modules, and improve existing modules as well. Currently I am a project maintainer on drupal.org for the quiz module, what this means is that I do some active development on the module, as well as check other people's code for submission to the module.

The quiz module has been something I have been working on for about 6 months now, and I can say that I am happy that a lot of work has gone into it, and it is near a 2.0 launch with many improvements over the first quiz module.

I won't go into details here, but it's really exciting that we can bring some of the features that make drupal so great and make the quiz module work with them, to create a really robust and usable system for testing and quizzing people. A must for any social website.

Along with developing modules, I also build websites on the drupal framework. I have had a lot of experience optimizing these websites for search engines, and building websites using drupal modules as building blocks, and putting them all together with a little magic and theming glue.

That said, my latest project has been a real eye opener. I had the experience of integrating civicrm with drupal, and configuring the webserver from scratch so that we could send mail using civicrm. It is great that I was able to pull this all together with a website that is really functional on top of that. This website just does so much at once, it's really mind boggling. But with my help it should be an easy, intuitive experience with few bumps along the way.

So the state of things in the what I do with drupal world is quite vast actually. And I always keep up to date with all the latest offerings and what have yous inside the drupal community, and trends in web design, just so I can really offer the absolute best websites with the newest bleeding edge functionality.

This will be my first blog entry. In my blog I plan to talk about drupal, and technology. Drupal, for those of you who don't know is a Content Management System, or CMS. What this allows you to do is easily create automated websites which allow users to interact with one another, and for website owners, and users to post data without necessarily knowing html, php or any web language.

While working on various projects with drupal I realized that there is really no one definitive place which lists the concepts that you need to become familiar with when dealing with drupal. So I decided that I would put them in one place for people who maybe are experienced php developers who are trying to learn to work with drupal for the first time.
