There is a bit of a learning curve for Drupal, especially because online information is fragmented (and often still refers to Drupal 6).
However, here are my quick tips for learning Drupal 7.
- Install a new Drupal 7 download.
- Set the Basic theme to "sites / all / themes / basic" and read the README.txt file.
- Look at the template folder and the .php files inside. These are the HTML forests for your drupal pages. Custom templates can be applied by duplicating the template file and adding a new naming convention (for example, page - front.tpl.php).
- Learn about drupal Blocks , because that's how your page is built.
- Read this module guide, it teaches you the very basics. Move from there at your own pace.
Drupal has so much training, but this should get you started.
