PRESENTATION
Drupal
What is it Good For?
by
Lev Tsypin
Drupal is growing leaps and bounds these days, powering everything
from ma and pa brochure sites to Obamaâs recovery.gov. Does this
mean itâs a great fit for any website? Not exactly.
Drupal has been defined as many things, including a content
management system, a web application framework, and community
plumbing. In some ways, this is both a blessing and a curse;
thereâs so much you can do, in so many different ways, that new
users are crushed under the weight of the options and lack of
clarity. In addition, all of that flexibility does come with a cost,
in terms of performance and conciseness.
This presentation will cover some Drupal basics including history,
core concepts, and system structure. From there, we will dig into
Drupalâs strengths and weaknesses, finishing off by discussing the
types of projects Drupal is best suited for, including specific
examples for each case.
My hope is that developers new to the platform will gain a better
understanding of when to approach a new project with Drupal, more
experienced developers will gain a bit of insight on when not to
use it, and non-techies will have some help in choosing a platform
for their projects along with an understanding why developers they
work with select a given platform. Please note that this talk will
not delve deeply into the technical details of Drupal.
