Conversational Drupal: A Crash Course in Drupal Jargon

Kristen Pol

What is this node thing you are talking about? Taxonomy? d.o? Is Drupal some sort of secret society?

When you start your journey into the Drupal realm, you might be dumbfounded by all the tech jargon you encounter. This is normal. Just like understanding any new complex system, there is a learning curve.

This talk will help break down some walls so you can get past the words to start learning the concepts.

Intended Audience

This session is focused on those who don't know what Drupal is or are new to Drupal and want a better understanding of the lingo. You will walk away with quite a vocabulary of Drupal words for your venture into the Drupalsphere.
