Workshop at Dutch PHP Conference 2010 (English - UK)
Drupal is an open-source content management platform written in PHP. It's recent dramatic growth has seen Drupal find it's way into an astonishing variety of big-name websites: national government sites including whitehouse.org and over a dozen European government sites, IBM, Sun, Sony, MTV, the BBC and a host of other broadcasters.
Drupal is particularly popular for building websites with social networking features, such as blogs, forums, ratings and reviews, and integration with other social media platforms such as Flickr and Twitter.
This tutorial session focuses on how to build a social networking site with Drupal, covering the key tools of blogs, forums, user profiles, and member directories. We'll be building a Drupal site from scratch, using Drupal 6 and a number of community-contributed Drupal modules. You'll also learn how to build your own custom Drupal modules and themes.
Bring along a laptop with Apache, MySQL and PHP (e.g. MAMP/XAMPP), and the IDE of your choice. You'll need to be happy writing PHP code, and you don't need any experience with Drupal.

Good tutorial, Marcus sure knows what he's talking about. The one thing that could have been better, is more time for covering the same topic, or less content in the same time.
I think this talk could have been more then enough for a complete day, so it could cover a little bit more basics and perhaps a little bit more advanced topics.

Good talk, however Marcus goes very fast (understandable he's trying to accomplish a lot) he might be better served by having a sidekick that can help people catch up with him or at least sharing the slides and instructions.
