Just a quick note to say that creating this seven-hour video series was a *wonderful* experience: The folks at Lynda.com are great, and I'm extremely proud of what we produced. I recommend it people who:
a) Are trying to understand what a CMS is;
b) Want to see how Drupal works, in order to decide whether to use it;
c) Have decided to use Drupal and want a step-by-step guide to making it do what they want;
d) Want to do something specific that's covered in the course (such as setting up forums, or modifying CSS in a theme).
However you use it, I hope it works for you! If you have any comments, you can reach me through my Web site, easily found through an online search. :)
