For my Interactive Design's Direct Study class (a.k.a., learn on your own) I will be learning Drupal (an open source CMS, Content Management System). To aid my learning I will be building a website for an IT service provider based in Richmond, BC (A&T Systems Inc.).
A&T Systems Inc. currently does not have a website. The main objectives of the website is to let visitors learn about the company, and team members, their services, and showcase projects. Their customers are small to medium sized companies in Canada, United States of America, and China.
I have selected the latest release, Drupal 7, for this project. Why? Just because...
Why 7 weeks? It is because this is the last term of my Interactive Design study at Capilano University and there are only 7 weeks for this project. The last 6 weeks of the term will be an internship. I'm for hire...
Searching for step-by-step Drupal 7 tutorials was a bit of a challenge. Most tutorials are for Drupal 6 and earlier. For now, iTunes podcasts (by Drupal School, Drupal Video, and Lynda.com) and a book called "Drupal 7" (by David Mercer) are my study aids.
